Film

There are a lot of films with the subject memory and forgetting. I have not seen them all yet and there are probably more I haven't found yet. I am planning on watching them and see if there is a connection with what I want to achieve. I think by seeing what has been made, I will be able to be more aware of what I can do in my work.
