Made for the filmmaker’s uncle, a painter and a gay man who died violently in 2001, this silent, hand-processed film marks an enduring presence with bold brush strokes. When the body is absent the shadows remain. “Still Here” consists of a series of spontaneous, single-take performances that have been edited in-camera. It is at once a eulogy and an act of defiance against the crime that ended Davis Buller’s life.
