The Memory of Glitch

In an attempt to connect to a ‘lost’ landscape, The Memory of Glitch explores the entanglements of smoke and pixels, trees and humans, loss and recovery.

While the filmmaker dives into a burnt forest in Oregon, U.S.A., bare soil and rock formations, the audience is guided by personal reflections on loss. Histories of past entanglements come drifting above like metal waste after a fire and absences are reflected in the sounds of a river. We encounter ‘glitches’ that turn fragmented time into possibilities for re-imagining our relationships with environments.

Through a montage of found footage, Google Maps explorations, and material engagements, the film plays with ideas of fiction and reality and questions our relationship with the on- and offline environments we inhabit.
