Audiorio CCCBSinopsis: Most of the moving images produced for science, industry, commerce and medicine are only seen by a specialised audience, and disappear soon after they have been made. The Rumour of True Things is constructed entirely from these transient images - including computer games, weapons testing, production-line monitoring, marriage-agency tapes - in which traces of our society are indirectly, but strikingly etched. Within this moving-image ephemera the film seeks a revelation of our society, not as we would like it to be seen, but as it will inevitably be seen by future generations: through those remnants of accidental statements which we have made and recorded.
