And I Refuse To Forget
Ninja May 7th, 2008
The smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies brings back fond memories of when I was a child and would bake with my mum. It’s funny, because I feel so safe and loved whenever I get a whiff of it. And even just writing about it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Now imagine if regular sensory experiences bring back memories of government secrets. As a Sensory Archiver, Andy Lipman uses his photographic memory to store these secrets, which can be retrieved by associated physical stimuli. For example, the sound of frying oil contains the results of illegal clinical drug trials in Southeast Asia, and Britain’s nuclear launch codes taste like economy pork sausages. But the memory that Andy wants to hold onto is the one that keeps slipping away—the memory of his love.
This British short film, And I Refuse To Forget, was directed and written by Nuru Rimington-Mkali. His short was entered in Filmaka and won! Now, Rimington-Mkali is working on making this into a feature-length movie.
