The Absence of Memory

The Absence of Memory is an animated documentary depicting soldiers recounting their experience within the military. The film creates a subconscious space through animation to elicit the emotions and atmosphere present during their memory. Coming from different backgrounds, each individual responds internally—through self reflection—or externally—through the creation of a fragment of humanity manifested in their work. Through this collection of voices, the film weaves together the tale of a shared human truth: that in the absence of meaning, we attempt to survive with humanity and dignity.
