Summary Made with help from others
SOUVENIR, a sponsored project of the New York Foundation for the Arts,
was shot in Paris, France on 35 mm film and is in the final stages of
post-production with a goal of an early 1998 release.
The producers are seeking completion funds for SOUVENIR in the amount of
$100,000. SOUVENIR has already attracted the interest of international
festivals, distributors and archives, and it needs your support. A fine
cut of SOUVENIR exists on video. The film uses a variety of textures, from
colorized 35mm to computer images, stills, Hi8 video and Super-8 film.

SOUVENIR is the adventure of Orlando, an American woman in Paris. In the
aftermath of a traffic accident, the film explores the ways in which memory,
history, accident, environment, and geographic and psychological displacement
create our senses of ourselves and our place in the world.
It is a film of many voices. SOUVENIR recollects and reconstructs Orlando's
past, and how painful childhood events swell into the role of the victim as
an adult in contemporary society. Her revelations play out in a dream where
each member of Orlando's family, including Orlando herself, is cast in a new
role. Throughout the film an off-screen dialog of a brother and sister (Orlando
in her youth) tells stories of the family’s tangled past.
SOUVENIR is also a sonata, filled with recurring, haunting motifs. The dialog
between image and sound, and the metamorphosis of both, presents the fragmented
memories as truths, desires, and fantasies. The film is a romantic journey
through the beauty and horror of family relationships, and the viewer is
seduced behind a facade of expectations - displaced, as is Orlando, our "American
in Paris."
