Mema's Life Story
Experimental
2017
2 min
Baltimore, MD
A 16mm film exploring displacement, documentation, and dialogue through an imagined conversation between the filmmaker's godmother and her grandmother. Hole-punched 16mm leader interrupts their dialogue, an emulation of the lace the grandmother carried as she fled the Armenian genocide from Talas, through Egypt and eventually to New York City. Interweaving their dialogue and her abstracted lace, the filmmaker attempts to preserve her godmother's grandmother's story while evoking the poetic fragility of inherited memory.
