Hull Independent Cinema & UNTHINKABLE presents
Debut, or, Objects of the Field of Debris as Currently Catalogued
An UNTHINKABLE x HULL INDEPENDENT CINEMA collaboration.
A young filmmaker named Julian stumbles on a hidden book tied to a vanished art forger and the perfect mystery for his next film pitch. But as coincidences mount and paranoia sets in, he begins to question what’s real, who’s watching him, and whether he’s directing the story or being directed by it.
A hybrid essay film / detective story that blurs the boundaries between documentary and fiction. What begins as a casual discovery of a drawing behind a bedroom wall soon spirals into an obsessive investigation, leading Julian Castronovo through archives, digital traces, and speculative reconstructions.
A masterclass of micro-budget DIY filmmaking and storytelling, Julian Castronovo crafts a beautifully self-reflexive work which has received applause across the international arthouse circuit.
Running Time: 1 hour 18 mins
Content Guidance: Includes themes of paranoia and obsession.
