The Silver Curtain

Storyline

The Silver Curtain is an experimental 16mm film that examines photography through the perspective of a film lab technician, reflecting on the material and psychological act of memory preservation. Set against the legacy of Kodak in Naarm/Melbourne, the film explores the tension between remembering and forgetting, and the ecological costs of image-making. What is lost in the pursuit of memory, and what must the Earth surrender so we can remember?
