Overview
Noemi’s Memory Vein is a video series exploring the link between the movies we watch and the memories we attach to them. Each video contains a scene from a film with one memory narrated over it using Noemi’s voice. Noemi believes our identities, queer or otherwise, are often discovered, named, and explored through cinema and can encourage people to see movies, and themselves, anew.
