False Memories

They say you die twice. Once when you stop breathing, and a second time when you're forgotten.

This is my attempt to keep a woman I have never known, and never will know, alive. It's not the story of her life, but it is a story of her life.

Director Statement

False Memories is interesting, because it's inspired by the French New Wave, and purposefully made to be quite self-indulgent. It's a film about a story of someone's life devised through found pictures.

The main inspirations when it came to this film were 'La Jetée' and 'Letter to Jane'.
