In 1934 an experiment by an amateur-scientist couple began. Named after a genus of moths, the Automeris Project placed a group of young children in an enclosed forest, leaving them to fend for themselves. On return visits, the couple presented self-made films, accompanied by live music, depicting the outside world. For them, these images were the perfect replica of reality seen in their expeditions. Nevertheless, the films were carefully framed, edited, and manipulated to induce a transformation and provoke the development of a new society.
This film revisits the remains of the Automeris Project and recreates one such film made using the few remaining assembly notes.
1934 年，一对业余科学家夫妇开始了一项实验。“Automeris”项目以飞蛾属命名，将一群幼童安置在一片封闭的森林中，让他们自己照顾自己。在回访时，这对夫妇在现场音乐的伴奏下展示了自制的电影，描绘了外面的世界。对他们来说，这些影像是他们在探险中所看到的现实的完美复制品。尽管如此，这些电影都经过了精心的构图、剪辑和处理，以引发一场变革，并激起新社会的发展。
这部电影重温了“Automeris”项目的遗迹，并使用仅存的几张组接笔记再现了这样一部电影。
