默 (To Write from Memory) explores the seams that connect documentary and fiction, archive and memory. Through a window into the protagonist’s everyday, mundanity intertwines with textural soundscapes to invite us into the potential event in each present moment. At once deeply intimate and distant, the film reflects upon the ways we authenticated our experiences about the past even though the past continues to be shaped in the present, evolving and unfolding as we move through different chapters of our lives.
