Memories of Another

Set in an oh-so near dystopian reality, Victor Blaho's newest micro-budget Nolanesque romantic drama tests the ethics of love, justice, and the illusion in between.

"Memories of Another" portrays the tragic story of Zach and Mia's 'once-was' relationship.

Following the mysterious death of his lover (Mia), Zach now finds himself in the hands of Blair, a government investigator & scientist who has pioneered a life changing machine (Pandora) that supposedly enables justice to reach the fairest verdict of all by replaying the dramatic events prior to a suspected crime. These events are re-lived through the suspect's mind, and thus, inevitably, his memories.

The thought-provoking ethical elements in this film all lie within the prejudice of a crime, and its suspect. Raising questions such as - "Is it fair to enter the mind and privacy of a suspect, with the scope of reaching a fair verdict?" "In the absence of evidence, can we truly rely on memory as the sole mean to justice?" But most of all... "Can we trust judicial representatives, to not abuse their power?" - The answer lies within human nature, and its dark side.

Wonderfully depicting the pain of heart-breaking memories through a melancholic Neo-surrealist 'dream-like' tone, it is clear that Blaho is not only a visionary, but also an uprising filmmaker that deals with contemporary real-life issues.

On top of the plot line, the film is beautifully paired with an outstanding original score and sound design.

All of the above - but on a well-handled yet clearly restrictive micro-budget.

An engrossing sci-fi film, where two people struggle with their grief. It raises the question...can you trust someone to let go of a loved one who doesn't want to live?

Victor Blaho's obscure visions are wonderfully futuristic and dreamlike. The way he looks at the obsession of reliving memories is really clever. It's something people envisage all the time but to see memories played so intricately is interesting.

Particularly liked the actors playing Mia and Blair. Mia's confusion, realisation and questioning of what's going on is poignant and moving. Blair seems so disturbed and torn by her dilemma, moving from powerful to lost to disturbed.

A truly fantastic film.

Knowing this is the first feature film production for the director and most of the crew, it's an impressive accomplishment. The themes embody a collection from highly popular science fiction films and shows the consistent creativity and interesting new narrative that can be created from already established plot lines. I loved the actress playing Mia. Her ability to capture the moral dilemma of wanting to survive, but doing so for the wrong reasons is incredibly impressive. Her emotional range is truly visible. I must also praise the director who created some clearly meticulous cinematic images and really used his camera to capture not only the superficial, but also the implicit tragedy that plagues the protagonists in their want to return to how happy they were together, before they were torn apart.

A moving revelation of what goes in young people's minds- "the hidden side " presented with passion, imagination and mysticism. Powerful confession surrounded by music! What an ambiance!

The London premiere presented the perfect "surroundings" for the film. The "well hidden" Whirled Cinema at Loughborough Junction, the obscure lighting, the relatively small but cosy and intimate hall gathered people from various parts of the world to witness the moving scenes created by Victor's imagination, performed under the powerful rhythms written by Assen and Monica!

A true cocktail of emotions and promise!

A must see!!!

I attended the premiere for this movie and it was soooo good! It's such an interesting film that tackles sensitive issues in a dynamic way, This movie sparks conversations with friends which is what art and film is all about. It defo is giving Nolan vibes.

I can't wait to see more films from this director, I think we are gonna see more of him in the future! Solid and captivating watch. I am excited for the digital release so I can watch again with friends so we can discuss and dissect it! The score was beautiful as well. I wish it was on Spotify so I can listen to it again.

Highly highly recommend it. I was left on the edge of my seat eager to know what is next!
