Memoria Data collects the moments of connection from various and distant familial archives. Familiar eyes make contact with the lens, gestures are are tossed to the camera operator, and mouths spill unheard words. These images remind us of why we keep records, who we set our sights upon, and exactly how we felt when our camera was running.

Commissioned by the Chicago Film Archives and Lab 80 Film – Cinescatti Archive.

Premiered at Bergamo Film Meeting, March 2018
Also screened at Chicago Film Archives International Media Mixer at Millenium Park, Chicago, IL July 2018
