Is it home that creates memory, or is it one's memory that creates home? In this assemblage of films, 10 directors experiment with notions of both. Some traverse the emotional geographies of memory—across the Black Atlantic, over the prairie grasslands and into the border of Ukraine—while others delve into memory as a home base, delightfully employing stop-motion animation and visual hybridity to (re)locate childhoods, relationships and death in lives both lived and lost.
