Summaries

A new Feature film by Edward P. Davee. Lost Division is a dark, atmospheric, unconventional narrative that takes us through a landscape of trauma, in a haze of mystery and wonder.

Lost Division unfolds in 3 acts. Act one is revealed through a diary of a combat Chaplain as he details the gruesome monotony of his daily reality, the majority of which involves burying corpses. Act 2 plunges us into a chaotic world of confusion, longing, tension, heartbreak, and loss. Act 3 opens in an atmospheric, post-traumatic haze as our Chaplain goes AWOL with a head trauma GI and a shell shocked 16mm photographer, as they traverse a dense forested terrain into the unknown.—Edward P. Davee

Lost Division, the new feature from Edward P. Davee (How the Fire Fell) brings a fresh, innovative approach to the war genre. The film follows a WWII Chaplain who has buried one too many bodies, a shell shocked 16mm cameraman, and an injured soldier as they go AWOL, traversing the dense forest near the border of Belgium and Germany, as temperatures drop and death tolls rise, the story unfolds through a dream-like haze, steeped in an atmosphere of trauma, but anchored by a gritty sense of documentary style realism as the cameraman character films the journey as they go, and the Chaplain's dictated journal entries drift through flashbacks that ultimately tell a story of heartbreak, loss, and longing.—Anonymous
