Notes for a Déjà Vu

Colectivo Los Ingrávidos | Mexico | 2021 | 22' |

| IFFR 2024

The immediately recognisable voice and sweet wistful words of the late legend of the avantgarde, Jonas Mekas, is heard over the images of an imagined trip to Mexico. He speaks about memory as being testament to suffering, while expired 16mm film shows us an act of remembering, memory as a verb: peaceful protest.

– Cristina Kolozsváry-Kiss
