The Silver Curtain (2026) is an experimental 16mm film that
examines photography through the perspective of
a film lab technician, reflecting on the material and
psychological act of memory preservation. Set against the
legacy of Kodak in Naarm/Melbourne, the film explores
the tension between remembering and forgetting, and
the ecological costs of image-making. What is lost in the
pursuit of memory, and what must we surrender so we can
remember?
