Using archival video and music to explore nostalgia as a form of collective memory.

Have been looking at how we experience the present as a way to understand how we later remember (constant stimulation: music, tv, film, text, image)

A cinematic experience of the present extends to a nostalgic way of remembering the past – countless documentaries that set archive footage of national/global events to music of the time.

Interweaving of severe and trivial/horrific and joyful footage also does this – first image of drought, next of an a-list marriage

Montage as ironic editing technique

Slowing or speeding up video, music

What kind of music?

The editing is starting to feel offensive
