Missing Pictures : Abel Ferrara
By Abel Ferrara is a groundbreaking VR documentary series that explores unmade films and the creative minds behind them. Presented in five immersive episodes, the project dives into the abandoned vision of *Birds of Prey*, a political thriller Ferrara envisioned but never realized. Alongside fellow directors Tsai Ming-Liang, Catherine Hardwicke, Lee Myung-Se, and Naomi Kawase, the series unpacks the reasons behind the project's cancellation and examines its cultural and cinematic significance. Shot using volumetric capture, the documentary offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process and the challenges of bringing bold ideas to life. Each episode stands alone, allowing viewers to explore the story in any order. Produced by ATLAS V and ARTE France, with support from international partners, *Missing Pictures* is a must-watch for fans of experimental cinema and film history. Experience the raw, unfiltered journey through cinematic ambition and failure. This innovative project redefines how we engage with lost.
