The result of over five years of Super-8 and 16mm filming on New York City streets, Lost Book Found melds documentary and narrative into a complex meditation on city life. The piece revolves around a mysterious notebook filled with obsessive listings of places, objects, and incidents. These listings serve as the key to a hidden city: a city of unconsidered geographies and layered artifacts—the relics of low-level capitalism and the debris of countless forgotten narratives. The project stems from the filmmaker's first job in New York—working as a pushcart vendor on Canal Street. As usual, Cohen shot in hundreds of locations using unobtrusive equipment and generally without any crew. Influenced by the work of Walter Benjamin.

Результат более чем пяти лет съемок улиц Нью-Йорка на пленку 8 и 16 мм, "Найденная книга" объединяет документальные съемки и истории в размышление о жизни города. Часть фильма история вращается вокруг таинственной записной книжки, заполненной списками мест, объектов, и происшествий.
