The Lost Record is a movie about a girl’s relationship to a record she finds, a valueless “lost record” from the cut out bin, which she brings to wider attention; first to her friends and then to mass culture.

The Lost Record she finds is obscure, unknown, and different than other records in that it talks to the listener. The girl and the record develop a very close relationship but tension arises; the Record urges her to turn her friends on to it, play it at parties, etc, while the girl would rather keep their thing intimate, to herself.

The Lost Record is a film about art, music, fetish, creation, popularity, fame, love, value, money, property and records.

Ian F Svenonius & Alexandra Cabral are filmmakers, video makers, and musicians who live in the United States of America. They perform music in a minimalist rock ’n’ roll combo called “Escape-ism” which lives on the edge of music, beneath the underground. The Lost Record is their first feature length film, a narrative story based on the Escape-ism LP “The Lost Record,” shot on 16mm film.

The duo work on video, films, and music and publish a monthly called “The Cellophane Flag,” through their label “Radical Elite Press.” Alexandra Cabral works as a photographer and Ian F Svenonius writes and publishes books and records as well.
