Acts of Memory 
a film by 
Mairéad McClean©2024
16mm, 28min, Optical Sound

Acts of Memory explores cinematic and national history through the retelling of a story about an archive lost to war and its virtual reconstruction a century later. Balancing contemplation with wit and playfulness, the film brings 16mm film into collision with AI technology. The film transcends its historical context to become a cinematic ode bridging past, present, and future. Shot on 16mm film—a tangible link to the past—the film, guided by an AI narrator, inhabits and reflects on an unfolding future. 

The main live action re-enactments were shot in the summer of 2023 with the documentary footage shot in Dublin in 2022
