The only remaining traces of a film: a draft of a screenplay, a sketchbook by a production designer, and a folder of obscure making-of images showing set pictures of "dusty scenarios." "As the Dust settles" is a fictional story loosely based around the 1937 "Fox Studio" fire in which over 75% of the silent film heritage was lost due to improper storage. Through the letters of an imaginary set designer, the book provides a glimpse into its creation and mystery, leaving it up to the viewer to determine what the actual contents are. A fake "physically aged" archive of drawings, subtitles, and found images blurs the lines between forgery and real events.
