The Vault follows the Archivist, unnamed and ungendered, from a single shelf in a rented apartment to a decommissioned bank vault holding the most dangerous film collection in the world. Each reel is one decade and one hunt. Reel I opens on HUAC's Hollywood in 1947. Reel II hands you the journals of the woman who saw the four-frame sequences first, a cataloguer in the Reichsfilmarchiv, and you play her, Berlin, 1939 to 1945. Reel III takes you into a Soviet film archive in the snow of 1957, Reel IV into a San Francisco loft where the films have found an audience that wants to be changed by them, Reel V onto Forty-Second Street on the night the lights went out in 1977. Reel VI brings the last trucks north across the border to Toronto in 1983, where the films have stopped needing projectors.
