It starts as Bonfanti’s La Charnière, a film without images, made of voices alone, only this time the voice is masked behind all the surface noise of this damaged recording, and although the words are translated in subtitles, they are hardly intelligible. Dane Komljen sometimes explains that, as far as he is concerned, “memories have become trees”. Should we really forget about foliages, that look just like scratches on a salvaged film roll, and sound like cracks in a crumpled magnetic tape? Pay attention to trees.
