TRACES OF AN ELEPHANT is a reflection on different attitudes towards the film ELEPHANT directed by Alan Clarke in 1989. It features a number of interviews that deal with Clarke's controversial television drama. Along with their personal memories of the film, the interview partners also reminisce about the structural changes in the city of Belfast during the past twenty years. The documentary approach and the intensity of Clarke's fictional film coalesce.
