Memory Objects, Memory Dialogues

• This split-screen animated ethnographic film explores the complex nature of memory in post-communist Romania. Using a collection of everyday, household objects as windows into the past, it features 16mm stop-motion animations of these artifacts, projected alongside interviews with the objects’ owners. Together, these images serve not to illustrate people’s memories, but rather to evoke the elusive and fragmentary feeling of the act of remembering in itself. Individual and collective memories diverge and intersect, giving a poignant and humorous glimpse into how Romanians are currently looking back at 45 years of communist rule, two decades after the 1989 Revolution.
