Peter Delpeut's fantastical pseudo-documentary The Forbidden Quest investigates the stories of the last surviving crew member of the Hollandia, which disappeared en route to Antarctica in 1905. Inspired equally by early twentieth century explorers and the mythic films of pioneer Robert Flaherty, Delpeut reinvents his approach to found footage montage in a playful narrative context.
