"One of the top ten movies of 2003" - J. Hoberman, Village Voice

#3) Decasia

Bill Morrison is not the first artist to take decomposing film stock as raw material, but he plunges into this dark nitrate of the soul with contagious abandon. Founded on the tension between the hard fact of film's stained, eroded, unstable surface and the fragile nature of that which was once photographically represented, Decasia is an avant-garde movie with universal appeal, as well as an apocalyptic subtext unavoidably tied to the catastrophe of 9-11.
