In Focus Memories (2010)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

The video is the re-actualization of a memory, the reproduction of an image that in turn reproduces the reality of an event stuck in memory: when we bring into focus the memory from that moment on it vanishes, leaving only a sense of melancholia and emptiness of the soul. The video is inspired by unknown people’s personal memories and attempts to put them into focus crystallizing the very moment in which everything burst into flames and the memory vanishes. The technique used is the film combustion. Ach combustion is natural and is a unique and unrepeatable act, because the burned frame, even if similar to others, it is none other than itself and represents the instantaneous shot of an unrepeatable moment.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
