By exploring her inherited lived experiences growing up in Chile, Catalina Reyes (Santiago, Chile, 1992) looks at memory as a malleable source for reflection. They investigate their past through the cracks of oblivion, looking at them as tension points of forgetfulness. Reyes’s film Claveles del Aire portrays a return to home, a facing lost memories; it explores the possibilities of filmmaking and editing as a form of remembering. Researching different perspectives on the filmmaker’s childhood home in Chile, interviews with their mother and sister reveal complex family dynamics.
