Tourist of memory

In this journey through time and place – an Ottawa snowstorm, Niagara Falls, and the filmmaker’s childhood home – recollections come unbidden and half-articulated, of trains, marshes and wind turbines, resolving at the inexpressible place where memory lies. A stand-alone chapter of the video essay, “In Between (remembering and forgetting),” “Tourist of memory” was filmed in 16mm, Super 8 and video, with sound design by Edmund Eagan.
