Video Essay: "Surviving Memories"

A video essay centered on Maria Saakyan’s 2006 film "The Lighthouse" ("Mayak").
Manuela Lazic, Alessandro Luchetti

Maria Saakyan's The Lighthouse (2006) is exclusively showing on MUBI in the Rediscovered series.

This video essay explores how Maria Saakyan’s The Lighthouse (Mayak), a film more about the effect of war on people than about war itself, paints the push and pull between the comfort of memories and the reality of present danger as a never ending, circling voyage.
