In Frames, Remember and Reframe
5 films
Martin Scorsese once said: "Cinema is about what’s in the frame and what’s out."
The rectangular frame of the camera—and the screen—shapes the stories we tell, the history we remember, and even our very memories.
We’ve grown accustomed to what lies within the frame, but if we take a step back, we might begin to reexamine both what’s inside and what’s outside—to rediscover forgotten stories, histories, emotions, and memories.
From experimental films to documentaries;
from black-and-white negatives, historical footage, to paintings and poetry; from continental Europe to Taiwan; from the history of war to literary legacies, to intimate family and personal memories— these five films lead us into one frame after another, where retrospection becomes reflection.
And from there, perhaps, we may begin to move freely between the inside and outside of the frame,
to remember again, to narrate anew— embarking on odysseys through memory and time.
