The Remembered Film

2018 · 18 min

A dreamlike, gently unsettling stroll through memory and war, where history blurs and storytelling feels both playful and haunted.

Directed by
Isabelle Tollenaere
Genres
Drama
Starring
Harry McDonald, Olly de Garston, Tom Halligan
Overview
Young soldiers are roaming the forest aimlessly, shots are heard in the distance. But something isn’t quite right. Soviet troops, the Wehrmacht and American soldiers in Iraq seem to be co-existing in the same peaceful woods. They speak awkwardly about war memories that could never have been their own. And yet they know them by heart. A lighthearted film connecting imagination and storytelling to the reality of war.
