The Silver Curtain

The Silver Curtain is an experimental 16mm film that examines photography through the perspective of a film lab technician, reflecting on the material and psychological act of memory preservation. Set against the legacy of Kodak in Naarm/Melbourne, the film explores the tension between remembering and forgetting, and the ecological costs of image-making. What is lost in the pursuit of memory, and what must we surrender so we can remember?

This film was made possible by the VCA50 Development Grant funded the VCA Foundation board. Research material was support by Museums Victoria.
