Title: The memory of glitch Director: Suzanne Schaaf Year: 2023

Contribution long abstract:

The memory of glitch explores the entanglements of smoke and pixels, trees and humans, loss and recovery. Attempting to connect to a ‘lost' landscape, a filmmaking researcher dives into a burned-down forest in Oregon, U.S.A., to create a sense for the (de)composition of memory and place. Her voice guides the audience with personal reflections on loss while glimpses of bare soil, rock formations and mountains form new horizons. Together, you will visit this 'black cathedral' in a montage of found footage, Google Maps explorations, and material recorded during fieldwork. The film plays with ideas of fiction and reality and questions our relationship with the on- and offline environments we inhabit.
