Anka
Iwa Clausen
Bridges
in Life
We
all have a past. But, it's not always the way we remember. Our
memories change with the years, and, that's why old photos and films
are important. But, sadly, our old super eight films are no longer
accessible. We no longer have the necessary equipment,
and, very often, our old reels of films have become too
fragile to put in a projector. We are in danger of losing our past.
But, not quite. There is hope. And, this hope is Anka Iwa Clausen.
Just
two years ago, Anka Iwa Clausen took over the running of Cinedoc, a
small company in Vienna that's dedicated to
bringing
our pasts back to us.
And, they're doing so by digitalizing our old films and
videos. And, the results are not only amazing, but also full
of unknowns. Old films are full of surprises.
And,
there is history, too. War time Vienna reappeared after Anka
Iwa Clausen digitalized a collection of old films that had been found
in an attic. And, old films are full of other discoveries,
too. There are buildings that are no longer there, old cars we once
loved, clothes that people once wore, and, of course, the trams and
buses of our everyday life. In other words, life as it once was.
But,
more often than not, old family films show holidays and other fun
times of life. And, re-watching them after many long years can be
very emotional. Anka Iwa Clausen remembers the day when an old lady
broke down and cried after seeing her father again. And, this, in a
way, is the sense of Anka Iwa Clausen's work. She's a bridge
that's connecting us to our pasts.
We
may believe we remember the past, but our films are the best memories
of all. They have stayed in their time. It is us who have moved on
and changed. But, now we can pass on our pasts to the future. We,
too are bridges in life!
