The film is a meditation on old, decaying silent films, featuring segments of earlier movies re-edited and integrated into a new narrative. The film begins and ends with scenes of a dervish and includes footage showing how film is processed. Some of the silent films were sourced from the University of South Carolina’s Moving Image Research Collections. Two of the films incorporated into Decasia are: J Farrell MacDonald's The Last Egyptian (1914) and William S Hart’s Truthful Tulliver (1916). NO Dawson City: Frozen Time is a 2016 documentary film by Bill Morrison. It follows the history of Dawson City, Canada, from its creation during the Klondike Gold Rush to its decline during the late 1970s using footage from 533 silent film reels rediscovered in 1978. The films, thought to be lost, had been buried in 1929 in a sub-arctic swimming pool. Along with the lost films, there was also rare footage of other historic events, including the 1919 Baseball World Series. NO The Miners’ Hymns is a 2011 archive collage film by Bill Morrison. It bears testimony to the lost industrial culture of the Durham coalfields, combining present day aerial footage of the former sites of Ryhope, Silksworth and other collieries with footage of miners carving the coal from the earth and scenes from a 1960s gala for mine workers and their families. Miners are shown at rest in their homes, with children playing and wives hanging out washing, and in conflict with the police during the strikes of the 1980s to form a tribute to a lost way of life.
