Absent is a 1928 American silent drama film starring Clarence Brooks. It was directed by Harry Gant. The film is about a veteran with memory loss who finds employment at a mining camp, aids his hosts, and finds new purpose. It was produced by Rosebud Film Corporation. It was followed on by Brooks in Georgia Rose.
A write-up published in the Pittsburgh Courier gave the film a rave review after a preview showing. Henry Jones wrote that Brooks "covered himself with glory" with what Jones described as his best performance up to that time.
With no prints of Absent located in any film archives, it is a lost film.
