The Digital Trace poster

The Digital Trace

A film about what remains. When a person moves—across borders, across platforms, across the versions of themselves they inhabit at different points in life—they leave traces. This film follows those traces: not as data, but as evidence of a particular kind of human presence that is hard to name and harder to hold.
