For every movie made, dozens of pictures remain missing forever. Missing Pictures gives directors a chance to tell the story that would otherwise never be told.

Tsai Ming-Liang, the Taiwanese maestro of slow cinema, doesn’t have a real “missing picture”, but what he does have are childhood memories, so vivid that it is impossible for him to film. The filmmaker seizes the medium of virtual reality to go back to the Malaysia of his childhood, when his grandparents took him to see two movies every night. Rather than telling us about an unmade film, Tsai Ming-Liang transforms the exercise into a making-of of his entire film career.
Missing Pictures is a 5 episode immersive documentary in VR that features five different directors.
Each unique in their own way, the episodes reflect the character and experiences of the director through animation and implanting the director via volumetric capture into the virtual world.
The series is at once an homage to the world of movie making via a look into the complicated process of bringing a film to life, and an important addition to the canon of cinema history as an archive and a bridge builder between traditional 2D and VR storytelling.
Born in 1982, Clément Deneux first studied graphic design at the Ecole Estienne. He began creating title sequences. Between 2009 and 2011 he wrote and directed two horrific short films : The Nails, shot with a cellphone, and the viral Zombinladen. He has been focusing on the development of feature film projects ever since.
JORGE TERESO is a director & digital artist from Buenos aires. His work ranges from playful and lysergic animations to realistic VR experiences and interactive installations. He’s a partner at 3dar studios, where he created its first award winning short film, Shave It (2013).
Since then he’s been creating 3dar’s original content, always in search of new ways to expand the possibilities of animation.
