The Eternal Memory by Maite Alberdi
CHL 2023, Panorama
Using a collage-like montage that makes the film seem like a journey through the stages of an eventful life, Maite Alberdi traces the story of a man who has spent his whole life writing in a bid to prevent collective forgetting, but who is now himself gradually losing his memory.
