Memoria is a film about a woman coming from an unspecified place and time. She wanders on earth with no specific goal. All she carries along are a sword and a shield and within her soul she carries the commemoration of peace. Walking through an ambivalent world, abundant in beauty and destruction, her knowledge about peace gets challenged not only by the outer environment but also by her own, human ambivalence.
Nevertheless, Memoria carries the memory of peace within and therefore the knowledge that it is possible to live in peace.

Memoria is Bernadett Garzuly´s final diploma project. It is an experimental film which explores the possibilities of narrating the concept of peace and the struggle with what history weights and imprints onto our bodies. Memory often refers to something in the past but at the same time it is something processual and fluent. The sword and shield are symbols for a heritage of violence which was handed down to us unwillingly. Throughout our live we have the power to decide whether we fight our way out of the heritage of our civilisation or keep playing with the swords.
