This program of six short films explores the capacity of memory, not only to preserve fragments of the past but also to reconstruct and reimagine them. Through the simple act of remembering, memory has the ability to transform what we consider true or real, revealing new perspectives that invite us to rethink – and often heal – our intimate and collective relationships.

The selected works in Recollections embrace this imaginative quality of memory, which can be unsettling yet always fertile, deeply rooted in reality. Here, traces of the past unfold in chimeric ways, exposing the dynamic and ever-evolving relationship between the places, bodies, and stories we inhabit—and that, in turn, inhabit us.

Curators : Mathilde Fauteux and Siam Obregon
