Innocent Memory

"Innocent Memory" shows the contrast between happiness and sadness, beauty and darkness, all accompanied with my mom’s lullaby. In it are the hopes and dreams she had for my present and future. It is a retrospective from my point of view, where the relationship between the two different generations was portrayed with metaphoric and symbolic images.

Carved from my mom’s poetry lullaby, the film is created from a strong feeling deep inside me; the visual images and motion might not be used just to portray my feeling but indeed to make the audience to feel it as well. Through the film, I’m concentrating on finding ways to bring up other’s experiences.
