STST Film Club x Dream Sequence #4 | Memory in Motion

This programme presents experimental short films that probe the subject of memory. How can film itself act as both witness and interpreter of what we recall? And how might the fragile materials and technologies of cinema mirror the fragility of memory itself?

Taken together, these films invite us to reflect on how memory is formed, lost, and reshaped, both on screen and in our own lives.

Program

10 Megabytes of Memory
Dates:
Wednesday, September 24, 2025 - 19:00
Venue:
Staffordshire St - London, United Kingdom
Cinédoc's cineclub: Refle-x-périmental #2 - Traits/Portraits

By Marcos Ortega on Tue, 25/04/2023 - 09:05

The second program of Refle-x-périmental is dedicated to cine-portraits. It proposes an exploration of gestures of cinematographic (self)representation based on multiple intersections of the gaze.

From self-portraits (Snow, Unglee) to family (Schefer, Satake), familiar (Mekas, Baillie), or even domestic (Rey) portraits, along with political portraits (Glowczewska, Schefer), these films question the relationship between the filmmakers and their subjects.

Scratch Projection: Maki Satake & Keitaro Oshima

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 07/02/2018 - 09:06

Both filmmakers for over fifteen years, Keitaro Oshima and Maki Satake are a couple living in Japan. In something like a structural approach, Keitaro dissects the moving image with the intention to re-construct it, while Maki's work focuses on the question of recording from diverse sources (video, photo, audio tapes...) in order to re-work family memories, her primary source of inspiration. This program will present a rare opportunity to encounter their work and to meet their gazes.

With the presence of the artists.

MuMaBoX #45: Mirror images

By Marcos Ortega on Thu, 18/02/2016 - 03:44

In an experimental approach to film, the mirror as a reflective device is used more in its concrete dimension that in the metaphorical: the mirror surface denounces the cinematographic transparency, the famous "window to the world" dear to André Bazin and manifests its power of illusion, infinitely poetic.

This programme will give rise to various speculations about the self-portrait, memory, landscape, but also on the presence of mirrors in Hollywood movies that reveals a double or the narcissistic staging full of doubts and anguish.
Dates:
Wednesday, February 24, 2016 - 18:00 to Thursday, February 25, 2016 - 17:55
Venue:
Musée d'art moderne André Malraux - Le Havre, France
MuMaBoX #37: Enfances

By Marcos Ortega on Thu, 05/02/2015 - 10:39

The child: a subject like any other, in life as in film. But when the child appears on the screen, the adult viewer sees what he has been and will never be: a being in his early life.

This terrible and banal observation of the passage of time is accompanied by a working memory: the projected image is superimposed on that of his own childhood. And for each, according to his/her own history, memories emerge full of tender nostalgia and memories of specific painful moments.

From the newborn (Le corps humain, Alexandre Larose) to adolescence (Dressage, Julika Rudelius), these portraits of children will complement the extensive gallery that was formed from the origins of cinema.

Dates:
Wednesday, February 11, 2015 - 18:00 to Thursday, February 12, 2015 - 17:55
Venue:
Musée d'art moderne André Malraux - Le Havre, France
