The Comfort in Forgetting

From here to there, the familiar takes on the prefix -un-: both for the people that live in alien cities and for the transient observer, travelling through it. “The Comfort In Forgetting” documents the toll moving makes on the memory. Set in Malaysia, it documents the lives, work and history of four ethnically distinct people lost in transition. The children of immigrants and transients are a rendition of that transition. The film represent the uniqueness of personal memories toward particular places, focusing on the question: whether the forgetting of memories is an act/process to move on in life, or to leave behind?
