Director: Hollis Frampton

Starring: Michael Snow (voice)

Year: 1971

Runtime: 36 mins.

Synopsis: In 13 sequences, a photograph lies on top of a burner on an electric stove. As the picture slowly burns and turns to ash, a narrator reminisces about the next photo in the next sequence, i.e. as we watch one photo be destroyed, we hear about the next photo we’ll see. Although not identified in the film, the narrator is structuralist filmmaker Michael Snow, yet the photos and the stories that go along with them both belong to the director, Hollis Frampton.

(nostalgia) is also the first film in Frampton’s seven-part Hapax Legomena series.
