A strange documentary that premiered at Sundance earlier this year, RESURRECT DEAD deals with one man’s obsessive search for the person (or thing?!) behind a series of mysterious tiles left on city streets all throughout the country. The film has gotten a new trailer, which you can watch below, as well as a release date: SEPTEMBER 2nd.
Based on the trailer, this doc looks (and sounds) like an Errol Morris documentary, if the Oscar-winner ever decided to tackle a subject that feels like it would be at home on “The X-Files”.
The synopsis: Strangeness is afoot. Most people don’t notice the hundreds of cryptic tiled messages about resurrecting the dead that have been appearing in city streets over the past three decades. But Justin Duerr does. For years, finding an answer to this long-standing urban mystery has been his obsession. He has been collecting clues that the tiler has embedded in the streets of major cities across the U.S. and South America. But as Justin starts piecing together key events of the past he finds a story that is more surreal than he imagined, and one that hits disturbingly close to home.
