The films are: Adieu Friedrich (2012), Sant Sant (2013) and Fenetre Fenetre (2013). The films will run for a total runtime of 55 minutes. The three films are not related to each other in terms of narrative or progressive conventions, but rather share temporal characteristics: namely that of starting off at a particular, arbitrary point. This arbitrary beginning, understood as a lack of introduction that the films share, gave rise to the idea of a 'lost epigraph'.
