The most recent edition of Found Feature Magazine includes a feature on Peter Delpeut’s work as a filmmaker, author, and archivist by Matthew Cole Levine. He describes Delpeut’s innate humanism noting what distinguishes what Delpeut from other creatives is “the fond attention that he pays to the human body, the lived experience, to human history as something worth preserving (and, at times, lamenting).”

He recommends Delpeut’s book-length essay, Shiver of Memory, saying it exists as “a perfect intersection of the writer’s interest in time, memory, art, and the human subject” in which Delpeut unpacks the controversies of the late Jonas Mekas’ film career.

Succinctly describing Delpeut’s career, Levine writes:
“Peter Delpeut, in his films and his writings, shows a refusal to operate under preconceived notions. Archivist or artist, formalist or humanist, he prefers the more complex approach, preserving ‘the disorder that characterizes our lives.’ Delpeut sustains that sense of mystery, embracing the lives that may someday exist only as other people’s memories.”
