4,500 exceptional and diverse photographs from the past 150 years form the basis for Ascent. Made entirely with stills, visual artist Fiona Tan’s second feature is a filmic experiment balancing between documentary and fiction, photography and film, where an English woman and her deceased Japanese partner, Hiroshi, lead the way.
