Memory Ignited

An ember from the past reignites and soars on the winds of memory to burn into the present. So too our collection of experimental shorts investigates remembrances of things passed through the glow of the present.

Archival images, clips of masterpieces, Google Street View and autobiographical truths are part of the arsenal deployed by many of these emerging and established filmmakers.
