Featuring the interventions of orphaned celluloid, digital manifestations of personal recollection, and landscapes made eerie with memory, we consider how the physicality of the film archive displaces/places cultural history. How does the archive provide both an opportunity for an objective resurrection of the past, and the reconciliation of the home?
Summoning lo-fi nostalgias and rare cultural documents, these films are alight with commemoration and suffuse visual heritage with political reckoning... a cinema impressed into geography and awakened by diligent reimagination. Including experimental digital work 31°42'49.5"N35°10'13.9"E by Francisca Khamis Giacoman and I Am Also Part of the Three Turns by Monica Maria Moraru (EMAF Award, European Media Arts Festival).
