The Archivists


The Archivists is a 2020 Canadian short drama film, directed by Igor Drljaca. Set in a dystopian future in which all art from the past has been banned, the film centres on William, Serena and Samuel, an itinerant trio of musicians who happen on a secret room whose contents include an old vinyl record and a phonograph, and are inspired to perform a rendition of one of the album's songs after listening to it.
The film premiered at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival. It was subsequently named to TIFF's year-end Canada's Top Ten list for short films in 2020.
