| Image: The Rumour of True Things |
Most of the moving images produced for science, industry, commerce and medicine are seen only by a specialised audience and disappear soon after they have been made.
The Rumour of True Things is constructed entirely from these transient images -computer games, records of weapons testing, production line monitoring tapes, marriage agency tapes - in which traces of our society are indirectly, but strikingly etched.
Within this moving-picture ephemera the film seeks to reveal our society, not as we would like it to be seen, but as it will be seen by future generations - through these accidental testimonies which we have made and recorded.
