Archive (USA, 2013, 40 min)

Archive reflects on ritual, memory and the passing of traditional photography in the digital age. Inspired by a trip to Greece for a baptism, this first person documentary layers B&W film and video, still photographs, digital imagery from the web and archival footage of the first electronic computer – the ENIAC – to create a moving and contemplative visual essay on an everlasting moment in family – and world - history.
