Why are we here, What are we striving for?

In the murky, unindexed corners of early Web 2.0, few pieces of media have achieved the spectral status of Un Funeral de Muerte (English: A Funeral of Death ). Credited to the enigmatic director or collective known only as “Mega,” this 2007 short film has become a holy grail for lost media hunters—a 17-minute descent into surrealist body horror shot entirely on a MiniDV camcorder in what appears to be an abandoned funeral home in suburban Madrid.

The brilliance of Un Funeral de Muerte lies in its adherence to classical theatrical traditions. The film takes place almost entirely within a single location—a country house in England. This containment creates a pressure-cooker environment essential for farce.

Peter Dinklage’s character, the secret lover, is locked in a room with the dead body. To escape, he strips naked and climbs out a window onto the roof. The sight of a nude, angry dwarf chasing the family patriarch’s son across the rooftops of London is absurdist perfection.

In 2021, a Reddit user on r/lostmedia claimed to own a VHS transfer of the film, but after uploading a corrupted 3-second snippet (a door closing in slow motion), the user deleted their account.
