Speaking begins and ends in the body. A mouth opens, words form, images flicker, memories surface. Mouth to Memory brings together films that trace the movement between speech and remembrance, where testimony is carried through language, gesture, ghostly rituals, archives, and the moving image itself. Across these works, personal and collective histories unfold against the backdrop of a fictive curtain: a broken telephone that summons a seer, a love affair amidst a mass shooting, a mouth buried beneath a shower of noise.

Rather than offering definitive accounts, these films dwell in the necessary fictions where memory fragments and returns. Migration becomes an act of clairvoyance, historical records splinter across official and lived accounts, desire survives through images of death, and mourning reshapes the domestic into a site of political memory. The films in this program consider remembering as an unfinished act, shaped as much by what can be spoken as by what remains beyond speaking.
