The Fundraiser (Lost TÁR Short Film)

this is a piece of lost media related to the infamous/famous tár, directed by todd field, starring cate blanchett, and a notable oscar loser. the lost media attached to it comes in at the berlinale festival in february 2023, wherein todd field screened the short film the fundraiser, an extended outtake from the film separately edited and ten minutes long. field said this was the only time the film would ever be screened. it was apparently never meant to be incorporated into the final film and so it was edited as such and released as a very exclusive bonus, only at berlinale earlier this year. however, that means it’s also purposefully lost. is it possible for us to find it ever, or is it fully fruitless? could there be someone out there in possession of the tape that would distribute it dubiously legally? would field finally release it on his deathbed? i’m not fully sure but i’m wondering what you all think.
