SYNOPSIS

Most of the moving images produced for science, industry, commerce and medicine are seen only 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.
