The story

What Is A So-Called Archive About?

The premise of A So-Called Archive without spoilers.

Onyeka Igwe’s A So-Called Archive uses a forensic approach to examine decaying colonial archives in Lagos, Nigeria, and Bristol, United Kingdom. The film blends footage with elements of radio plays, corporate tours, and detective noir to explore the lingering impact of colonial imagery, even as the physical materials deteriorate. It considers the 'sonic shadows' that these images continue to produce, offering a haunting and critical perspective on the experience of uncovering history.
