Palimpsests

What if the stories we tell are just layers waiting to be uncovered? This 2017 documentary peels back the surface of history, memory, and place. It moves beyond a simple chronicle, acting as an archaeological dig through time. The film explores how cities and identities are constantly written over, their pasts never fully erased but shimmering beneath the present. Through intimate observation and archival fragments, it reveals the ghostly traces left behind in urban landscapes and within ourselves. This is a quiet, thoughtful journey into the essence of what remains. The documentary genre finds a profound expression here, not seeking answers but revelling in the beautiful, haunting questions of permanence and change.
