In biracial artist Emeline Courcier's BURN FROM ABSENCE, she attempts to reconstruct lost memories of her maternal family who had gone through the Vietnam War - her grandmother had burned all photographs of that traumatic history in an act of defiant resilience. Using AI technology and voices of her family from phone calls, she retraces their faces, places, and lives as a docu-fiction experiment, crafting memory as a form of persevering inheritance, and measuring the distance of trauma.
 

Emeline Courcier will be present for an in-person post-screening Q&A on 24 May, Sat.

In collecting over 4500 photographs of Mount Fuji from an open call with the general public, artist Fiona Tan crafts a riveting photo-film of a Western woman narrating her ascent of the sacred mountain and conversing with her deceased Japanese husband. Across ponderings and debates in both English and Japanese language, the mountain remains a visual and philosophical constant - a languid parable on grief, remembrance, and the question of what love is, if not memory persevering across time, divides, cultures, and language.

Visually composed of a pure Yves Klein blue frame, Derek Jarman's final film reflects on his journey with HIV - a disease slowly eroding his sight.

 

Through narrations from his frequent collaborators Tilda Swinton, Nigel Terry and John Quentin, BLUE glides through imagined scenes - some banal, others absurd - but be it getting coffee, reading the news and walking down the street, each lyrical prose transforms into visions of Marco Polo, the Taj Mahal, or blue fighting yellow.

 

A grand meditation on illness, dying and undying love, Jarman considers the transcendental quality of emotion in a film without images, without sight. And perhaps when all's said and done, the only constant is Blue - a colour, a feeling, a funk.

Chris Marker's revolutionary SANS SOLEIL redefined the documentary genre by presenting humanity's shared memory as stream-of-consciousness - narrated by a seasoned world-traveller recording fragments of peoples, languages, cultures, places, and piecing them together into a grand meditation of eternity in moments. The film is also a beautiful reminder on the splendour of being present, and how humans never needed to record life in order to remember it, and how life might just all be about first and last memories.
