Archiving Time Synopsis
In Taiwan, there is a group of people participating in this race against time. They are hidden inside the film archive of New Taipei City’s “Singapore Industrial Park”, where the 17,000-plus film reels and over a million film artifacts have become their spiritual nourishment. Day after day, they shuttle back and forth inside, carrying their doubts, their learnings, and their faith. What they are doing is awakening these long-neglected film reels, then piecing together the no-longer-existent social atmospheres and lives of distant pasts recorded on them. And spending time in this archive has become everyday life for these film archivists and restorers.
Archiving Time (2019) is a documentary and history film directed by Lu Yuan-chi, released on October 25, 2019 with a runtime of 1h 3m. It stars Allen Chung, Wang Wei, Chang Sung-ju and Wu Chia-chu.
