Digital Amnesia

About This Movie

Digital Amnesia is a fascinating exploration of our fragile relationship with digital data. Directed by Bregtje van der Haak, the film has this cool, contemplative vibe, digging into how we perceive and archive our digital lives. It's not just about what we create, but the potential loss that comes with it. The pacing is steady, allowing the thoughts of various archivists to sink in, which can be a bit heavy but in a thought-provoking way. The interviews are candid and insightful, merging personal stories with broader themes of preservation and memory. There's this eerie sense throughout, like we’re teetering on the edge of forgetting what we once held dear. It’s definitely a unique piece, unlike typical documentaries.
