La mémoire n'est pas un jeu d'enfant
Documentary | dv | color | 52:50 | France, Germany | 2009
1 woman/ 3 countries/ 3 wars / Following a female figure as she is revisiting the places of her childhood, this film summons up, through the devices it employs, the crossed categories of individual memory and history in a space which is itself composed of the accumulated layers of past and present. Set in France, Tunisia and Algeria, the film looks at how we are affected by history in the places where we grow up. A long journey of recollections and words set against the images and sounds of the landscapes. It is an examination of the relationship between subjective memory, territory and the consciousness of the adult.A political film in the deepest sense of the word.
