'MEMORIES' is 2010 short film written, directed and edited by Radoslaw Sienski. The film revolves around an old man walking around doing his day to day things finding film reel as he goes. Each piece of film reel appears to represents a memory. This review contains spoilers.
For a film that is only two minutes long I think it does a really good job in raising awareness for Alzheimer's. The film reel represents him remembering something as he goes along, and when he gets home and some of the reels got caught and ripped when he closes the door represents how easily they can be forgotten again. It's so simple, but very effective. The music for this film (by a band called Silence from Slovenia).
This film actually received a lot of praise and awards, here's a list below:
- Winner of Best Fiction Award at The Altered Images Student Post Production Festival in London 2010
- Winner of the Yobi.tv Film Making contest 2010

Easily one of the most effective short films I've seen, it's short and sweet and gets the message across in an effective manor, I'm going to give 'MEMORIES' a 9/10.
