Memory Block
Director: Chris Saunders
Year: 2016
This film seeks to challenge the media construction and distortion of social memory through its representation of the disinvestment and regeneration of the Heygate Estate in London. Heygate became 'sexy' in the symbolic economy as a go-to urban dystopian film and TV location, before its demolition and enclosure as a privatised estate.
A Book of Hours
Director: Chris Saunders
Year: 2001
A Book Of Hours follows a land surveyor and his assistant on a year long drive to the heart of middle England. Updated Medieval world pictures of love, harvest and hunting seen in the original 14th century calendar illustrations become the landscape of a new dark age.
I Heard That They Are Not Going To See Each Other Anymore
Director: Ka Ki Wong
Year: 2026
In present-day Taipei, Tao develops unexplainable affectionate feelings for Shin, an indifferent guy. Desperate to create lasting memories, she sends people to beat him up, using pain as a twisted form of connection. Meanwhile, Melih, having left Istanbul for Taipei, owns a noodle shop. One night, he receives an unexpected flower from the perpetually drunk Ping. Melih begins to stare into the flower from time to time, experiencing the tale of Tao and Shin and revealing his own unspoken desire and failed attempts to connect with Ping. As Melih digs deeper into the tale, he confronts his struggles to form meaningful relationships. His struggle gradually mirrors Tao’s struggle with Shin. As Tao grows closer to Shin, Shin vanishes, leaving Tao to realize that these recollections, retained only by her, might be mere figments of imagination. Tao’s tale then makes Melih question if it’s better to forget everything, as he contemplates whether letting go of solitary memories might finally bring him peace.
