Rectangles

A short documentary by Joshua Carlon

Was there really buried treasure at the old farmhouse? And who knows the real story? When a filmmaker attempts to discover the truth about an old family legend, he finds that answers are not what he expected. As reality, fiction and memory blend, both the story and the documentary fracture, leading to a more personal journey. Featuring mysterious farmhouses, microfilm, Finland, the inescapable feeling of doom that creeps up when contemplating lost time, and machetes.

Rectangles premieres at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival in 2024.
