Restoring Three Maidens

This short documentary piece consists of experiential statements from people involved in the process of restoring the Indonesian 1956 classic film "Tiga Dara" by the famous Indonesian director Usmar Ismail, that's been conducted throughout the year 2015-2016. This collaborating group of Indonesian and Italian tried to assemble and restore frame by frame of a decayed film that were damaged due to its own age and lack of sufficient care. A journey full of surprises and experimentation.
