NECROLOGY is an anthropological film about life and death in New York City - a roll call of the recently deceased. Shot in Grand Central Station, director Standish Lawder, who is best known for his photography, captured 12 minutes of anonymous commuters in their daily routine. The finished film shows lines of people ascending and disappearing into a shadowy abyss with the haunting suggestion of people on their event less way to hell. Lawder added a lengthy list of bogus credits to the end for a touch of morbid humor that leaves viewers to ponder their own fate.
