Disclosure, Devotion and the Saving Grace of Fiction presents two singular films that play with the raw materials of filmmaking, image, sound, time and memory. They travel from the subjective to the collective with a graceful agility and depict a dramatic and emotional realm where the viewer finds space to write her/himself into the narrative. Disclosing stories of love lost, they articulate exquisitely, each on its own, an original poetry of grief.
