About the Film

Reviews

”[Remnants of Memory] was a wow for me…I absolutely loved every bit of it. As a lover of photography myself and someone who has traveled to Venice, it was so moving to see the beautiful city in a new light, a new perspective. Seeing the level of detail that goes into creating a book on photography was really something.”

Programming Director Charlotte Film Festival

“I just watched Remnants of Memory. It was beautiful and I had never watched a book being made. I loved the music, the sound of the water, watching Charlie navigate the corridors. I remember seeing the kiosks but never saw them as did Charlie. I hope you are proud of this film.”
