The Remembered Film
Isabelle Tollenaere, 2018, BE, DCP, English spoken with Dutch & French subtitles, 18'
In The Remembered Film young soldiers from previous wars are seen roaming the woods aimlessly. They wear the uniforms of the Soviet troops, the Wehrmacht or the American military forces during the Vietnam war, and seem to co-exist in the same peaceful forest. In interviews, they share war memories they can’t possibly have experienced themselves, but which have taken root in their memory. A film connecting war and spectacle, history and representation, reality and imagination.
