A compilation of non-narrative, mischievous, fictional tableaux vivants featuring two young women on a dreamlike, summer-like quest for self-discovery, written in the glittery language of music videos, fashion shoots, and meandering streams of consciousness, set to a nostalgic mood track that evokes universal, bittersweet sentiments.

A young woman uses a strange telephone service to leave messages for her departed brother.

A portal, a sorceress, a fictional device to portray existence as a moment encapsulated inside an instantaneous photograph to present fragmented biographical elements —family disintegration, rootlessness, scars, two loyal companions, the promises of a new land—subverting the notion of a home-movie and transform it into a pilgrimage tool of self-discovery, mirroring the fragile nature of memories.

The director offers a rare glimpse of the actor and fashion muse Chloë Sevigny in the late 90s when she as an emerging ingénue. Shot on 16mm black and white, Sevigny plays air guitar and dress-up in a film that beautifully captures the spirit of the time.

"In the final format for MAGELLAN, Frampton had planned to disassemble these two films into twenty-four 'encounters with death' that were to be shown in five-minute segments twice a month. In their present state, seen together and roughly the length of an average feature film, the two parts of MAGELLAN: AT THE GATES OF DEATH constitute perhaps the most gripping, monumental, and wrenching work ever executed on film...Frampton in 1971 began his filming of cedavers at the Gross Anatomy Lab at the University of Pittsburgh. He returned to the lab four times over the course of the next two years and then spent nine months assembling his 'forbidden imagery' into an extraordinary meditation upon death."–Bruce Jenkins
