Berlin: Been there / to be here (2000)

Overview

Numerous filmmakers and video artists have attempted, with varying success, to produce visual representations of memories. The eye of memory does not see things in the same way as the physical eye, and many artists have come to regret this difference. Aravena Abughosh's attempt belongs to the category of successes. He has managed to account for the fragmentary and associative character of memory; for the vague emerging and dissolving of images, and even for the feelings that are so intrinsically linked to it.
