Plot

Told in two semi-fictional acts, this 16mm film serves as an elegy for Europe’s last wallabies — a marsupial animal from Australia, introduced in Scotland in the 1940s. Reflecting on humanity’s enduring urge to record animals, from prehistoric cave art to early cinema, Alasdair Asmussen Doyle links the extinction of species with the evolution of image-making.
