Found footage and archive imagery come together in this block, whether through conventional documentary or through experimental repurposing processes.  We look at Getty Images stock footage and the cost to obtain public domain footage, and social problems are revisited with the cost of living.  A train scene featuring Buster Keaton Jr is re-contextualised through radical editing techniques, and the background extra Jill Goldston takes centre stage through a myriad of scenes.
