What Time Is It? | film by Karine Versluis (2016)

WHAT TIME IS IT?
Shortfilm
What Time Is It? is an experimental documentary about memory and identity in which the borders between reality and fiction blend together. Old super 8 films show carefree images of birthdays and holidays. The director talks to her grandmother who suffers from amnesia. Sometimes she shows a glimpse of recognition, sometimes there is some doubt and the past becomes just as hazy as the ever paler, fading images. What makes us who we are if we cannot share our memories anymore with the ones with whom we experienced them?
