Engram
“I think that video is a kind of memory. If a video is filmed again, it becomes a memory of a memory. There, traces of time appear in relation to space. Memories reverberate mutually, and create on the contrary new context.

really really awesome love of all the frame-within-a-frame stuff and all of the different ways that idea is utilized especially with the polaroid pictures. So cool.

i liked the music but i think i would’ve preferred if the film was silent, except for when Toshio Matsumoto speaks of course.
