In July 1941, the village was the site of an unimaginable atrocity. Seventy-four years later, few speak honestly or completely about what happened. 'Absent' is a cinematic portrait of the ghost village of Mărculeşti, its current inhabitants, and their very complex relationship to their own history. Working entirely on location with a very small crew (and often without electricity), filmmaker Matthew Mishory documents one of Europe's poorest, most remote, and least-visited places. The result is a nuanced, complex, and unforgettable snapshot of a rural Moldovan village grappling with an unspeakable past and facing, in the context of global capitalism, a very uncertain future. 580 Verzio Film Festival Submission 655 Documentary films 942 |2ddc |cHDD 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_4203_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9152385FL |bFL |d2021-11-04 |l0 |oFL Record 4203 |pHU_OSA_00005927.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2021-11-04 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 jYxM7Oeq 966 True |bHU_OSA_00005927 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
