A forgotten Childhood
A forgotten childhood is a short film made from collaged analogue footage shot by Astrid’s father during her childhood. Against a rural arctic backdrop, the film takes the viewer on a journey through time and place. It poses questions about memory and self from different historical and cultural perspectives. We are left wondering what parts of our lives we can actually remember and how our identity depends on our memories of the past.
