“decasia – the state of decay” (bill morrison, 2002)

Decasia – The State Of Decay, assembled by Bill Morrison in 2002 (with music composed by Michael Gordon), is an American found footage film by Morrison. It is a meditation on old, decaying silent films. It begins and ends with scenes of a dervish and is bookended with old footage showing how film is processed. Nothing was done to accelerate the decomposition of the actual film prints, some of which were copied from the University of South Carolina’s Moving Image Research Collections.

Extremists like Rep RJ May and the SC House Freedom Caucus will never be satisfied. It's best not to give an inch into their demands and changing the language was a mistake.

“USC can call it whatever they want, it’s just racist nonsense that they’re indoctrinating our students with,” May said. “I’m surprised they felt that they needed to rebrand, given that the state legislature is full of moderate, milquetoast, do-nothing Republicans.”
