Under the Austin sun, in the shadow of the University of Texas tower, the echoes of those gunshots still linger in people’s memories. In mid-August, lives cut short by gunfire from a clock tower that had come to a sudden standstill, leaving behind a profound silence. In this film, which pushes the boundaries of documentary cinema, Keith Maitland weaves together archival footage using rotoscoping animation. The testimonies of those present that day confront us with the horror of the massacre and the heroism displayed by ordinary people in a deeply moving way. This narrative, where real archival footage and animation intertwine, traces a path through the darkness of recent history.
