"Pathways Through The Memory Archive" is a reflective short film that seeks to observe how much we leave behind in the digital world and how this shapes our legacy as people. The film is set from the perspective of someone walking through a rural landscape before their stream of subconscious thoughts take over, which takes them from reality into an archival landscape with likeness to a digital space. The concept of what we consider to be an archive online has reached a wider meaning; the content we upload, the actions we take digitally paint this unusual second identity for us as people. The archival nature of the internet can feel organic, as we collect, weave and connect history, heritage and memory. This film is particularly observes Welsh heritage, inspired by the community archives discovered growing in online groups and forums – a growing and evolving virtual archaeology.
