Documentary. USA. “‘Burnt in Memory’ chronicles life in Chicago. Its impressionistic tableau has no dialogue, no characters, no story, and no acts. It is just a glimpse of people and their places, their in between places, and their forgotten places…The film/video is an experiment to rewind and strip away the conventions about narratives in documentaries…The musicians include Azita Youssefi on piano, Amber Amar-Walton on cello, Justin Martin on guitar, Nandini Khaund on the Folktek Quadrum, and Ben Clarke as musical director….It’s a city steeped in stereotypes, but after wandering around the city day after day its true personality comes forth. Its beauty and ugliness, its power and frailty, its inhabitants and its abandoned caverns are what make this city intriguing…We’re simply sharing what we see.” – Robert Stockwell
