Surreal thriller written and directed by Ryan Gosling. In an
abandoned town, single mother Billy (Christina Hendricks), who is
struggling with the expense of her home and two sons, begins work
at a nightclub run by her sinister bank manager Dave (Ben
Mendelsohn). She soon discovers that employees are encouraged to
engage in sadistic acts for the customers' viewing pleasure and she
must develop her own unique performance with help from star
performer Cat (Eva Mendes). Meanwhile her teenage son Bones (Iain
de Caestecker) develops an infatuation with neighbour Rat (Saoirse
Ronan) who lives next door with her mute grandmother (Barbara
Steele). Rat introduces Bones to a mythical underwater town at the
bottom of a resevoir that the pair yearn to explore after escaping
the clutches of neighbourhood tormenter Bully (Matt Smith).
Like most of Wolfgang Ernst's work, Das Rumoren der Archiv explored
the concept of archival and media theory from a current cultural
digital context. Ernst challenges the traditional perspective of
the cultural heritage institution and how it relied on media for
creating, storing and disseminating digital information. Archives
have a place in a digital society, and the archivist's role will be
more increasingly vital in the future. As Ernst points out, his
work will show a way out of the archive, away from the notion that
the era of archive is coming to an end. Here is the long-awaited
English translation of this seminal work exploring cultural
heritage before the archives, throughout history, and from today
into the future. Ernst work emphasized a need to recognize media as
a method for capturing and preserving our collective cultural
identity. It is vital that archivists promoted a greater awareness
of how media technology augmented the creation, management, and
dissemination of digital content.
