I mentioned this short film to a few of you in class tonight. There was a Jem Cohen retrospective last year in LA that I attended, and I can tell you now that I am hesitant to post this youtube version because it is such low quality. Jem's work is absolutely gorgeous, and I hope you will look him up on your own if this interests you. He shoots with a Bolex, and is a natural story teller and documentarian. You may have seen his film "Instrument" that he made for Fugazi a few years back. The library has a copy of "Lost Book Found," and I highly recommend watching it. This is nothing like the original, but it will give you a taste. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ADiSSNWU90&feature=player_embedded. You can view Jem's website here: http://www.jemcohenfilms.com/
