INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE

For two decades, Manhattan cinephiles could access a treasure trove of movies through Kim's Video store. Run by Yongman Kim, he amassed 55,000 rental titles. In 2008, facing a changing industry, Kim offered to give away his collection provided it stay intact and be available to members. To revitalise tourism, the Italian village of Salemi, Sicily, became home to the archive. But after the initial publicity faded, so did any sign of the collection… A playful documentary embracing various filmic forms on the quest to track down what happened to the legendary collection and to free it from purgatory.
