Capture, document, record, share, and start again. We are making ourselves more memorable than ever by archiving every bit of our daily lives. What if we lost something along the way?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>

For as long as I can remember, I have always felt the need to archive fragments of my life. As a child, I always had a camera hanging around my neck. As a teenager, video took over. And what about the 1,001 diaries that chronicle every period of my early life in writing? Observing the world around me, capturing it, and the deep desire to resist forgetting and the passage of time\u2026 these are concerns that are central to my identity. Rafa\u00eble Germain\u2019s essay plunged me into a deep reflection on our relationship with memory, on the need to archive at all costs, and on the fragility of the technologies that quietly stand in for our deepest faculties\u2026 I wish to make the author\u2019s words my own in order to create a short work that explores the omnipresence of these archival mediums in our modern lives. Captive in an image-driven society, our lives and memories are now recorded, archived, filmed, photographed, monitored, and accessible at any moment. A vast all-you-can-eat buffet where we make sure that nothing can be lost to oblivion, and where our intimacy increasingly seems to become public property. I wish to explore our relationship with this infinite memory through a playful and free-spirited cinema, imbued with a certain nostalgia for a time when we were perhaps a little freer.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Am\u00e9lie Hardy offers a condensed reflection that is both delightful and unsettling on the permanence of the traces of our existence that we leave behind. From primal memory to videos shared on the web, the short film covers a wide spectrum, fortunately organizing its content into five parts. Despite the multiple visual sources juxtaposed in Louis Chevalier-Dagenais\u2019 dynamic editing, the narrative stays on course, ensuring cohesion throughout.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t
