記錄Ｘ記憶：檔案變形記

眼前的人事物以影像、文字、物件等方式被記錄下，記憶（名詞）就這樣被封存在膠卷、錄影帶、照片、紙張和數位檔案等各種載體之中。但記憶（動詞）也是讓事物可見的一種功夫，頑強地站在與遺忘對立的反抗位置；無論是檔案或拾得、動態或靜態，甚至是塗鴉般的手繪稿，即使在時間的長流中已褪色、扭曲、酸腐、殘破，透過現代科技的重構與虛構下，以新鮮的眼睛加以組裝、疊加、反轉，使塵封於載體中的鬼魅般的回憶逐漸甦醒，在畫面中踢著腿奮力掙扎，在重複講述、重新詮釋、放大勘驗、來回批判的過程中，得到和解、理解與解放。

Post Modern Korea

In the early 1990s, South Korea started regaining confidence in itself. ‘We hosted one of the most successful Olympic games ever. We are rich enough. Nobody can look down on us now. We are finally SOMEBODY.’ But there was one problem. Korea’s past history, especially in relation to Japan, is something many Koreans wish to forget and erase from the history books if possible. How could Koreans straighten their ‘distorted’ history?

When the Sea Sends Forth a Forest

Images simulated in real time by a graphics engine are interwoven with fragments of archival footage, while telling the story of a Chinese survivor of the Khmer Rouge and reflecting upon how traumatic historical events continue to reshape our present in virtue of today’s narration.

Apiyemiyekî?

An archive of drawings made by the Waimiri-Atroari during their first literacy experience built a collective visual memory from their learning process, perspective and territory, while attesting to a series of violent attacks taking place during the Military Dictatorship.

There Will Be No More Night

The pilots and gunners of attack helicopters use thermal cameras to observe movement on the ground in war zones. Using video recordings of French and American missions in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, the film observes, interprets, and reflects on the modern form of war.

Three Minutes - A Lengthening

The three minutes of footage explored in this extraordinary film is the only moving images left of the Jewish inhabitants of Nasielsk before the Holocaust. The filmmaker inhabits and examines every frame of the home movie Glenn KURTZ found in his parents' home in Florida, transforming the rare colour footage shot in 1938 Poland into a riveting and haunting essay film narrated by actress Helena Bonham CARTER that unravels the stories hidden in the celluloid.

Malleable Docu/Memory: Archival/Found Footage and More

Once recorded and documented, pieces of memory are sealed in reels, cassettes, photographs, papers and digital files– safeguarded by various forms of carriers. Nevertheless, a process of fading and being forgotten was simultaneously started. In this light, ‘to remember' is then an effort to make it visible, a rebellious act against oblivion, extracting memory from its carrier– be it archival or found, moving or still. Despite faded, twisted, decayed, and broken under the erosion of time, through strategies of reconstruction or fictionalisation, and techniques of collaging, splicing, superimposing, reversing, the apparition of memory thereby revives. Chances are, through re-interpretation and re-examination, the apparition of memory could be liberated and led to a state of reconciliation and further understanding.
