“Landscapes and Memories: Forming, Morphing, and Disappearing”

About this event

Please join us for another exciting event in this season of Film and Media Studies Colloquia. Our program's series of talks explores a wide variety of topics related to film and media research, production, and teaching.

This talk, “Landscapes and Memories: Forming, Morphing, and Disappearing” will be led by Sarah Moore , Film & Media Studies Program. Please see a description below:

Living out West, Sarah Moore became obsessed with big landscapes and the nuances of memory. It wasn’t until she moved to Pittsburgh that landscape and memory would weave together in surprising ways. After her Dad developed early dementia five years ago, she found solace in a piece of land across from her house. Moore's films and creative work investigate ways landscapes can heal themselves while she simultaneously grapples with her Dad’s rapid memory deterioration.
