Hotel de Memórias

If We Ever Forgot

In a fading seaside city, a forgotten notebook becomes the unlikely thread connecting two lives. One, burdened by the weight of their memories, fills its pages with raw emotions about lost time and fractured dreams before discarding it. The other, driven by curiosity, discovers the notebook and sets out on a journey to trace the stories it holds. Through its pages, a haunting reminder echoes: “If the whole world forget, never forget. If the whole world forgive, never forgive. Gone, but never forgotten.” As their paths unknowingly cross in shared spaces, both must confront whether to remain anchored in their histories or let go and move forward. A poetic exploration of memory, loss, and renewal, “If We Ever Forgot” asks: can we ever truly leave the past behind?

5x7

A beautiful collection of pictures ties Frank Cancian, an elderly photographer and retired professor of anthropology, American with origin from Veneto, to the people of Lacedonia, a small town in southern Italy. Thanks to the rediscovery of the photos taken in 1957 by the young Cancian in that rural village where he had arrived almost by chance, the story resumes there where it was interrupted 60 years earlier. And the thread of memories ties back to people and places, bringing with itself some essential reflections on how photography can become an ethnographic look at small communities.

Letter in Motion to Gilles Jacob and Thierry Fremaux

Rather than writing a simple letter to explain his absence from the press conference for his latest Cannes entry, "Goodbye to Language," at the Cannes Film Festival, instead, legendary filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard created a video "Letter in motion to (Cannes president) Gilles Jacob and (artistic director) Thierry Fremaux." The video intercuts from Godard speaking cryptically about his "path" to key scenes from Godard classics such as "Alphaville" and "King Lear" with Burgess Meredith and Molly Ringwald, and quotes poet Jacques Prevert and philosopher Hannah Arendt.
