Abstract
A Letter About Memory - a short film by Bethany J. Ostrander (https://youtu.be/A-RQoo2Fvrk)
"Through the lens of a nostalgic letter being shared with the viewer, this poetic scrapbook memoir explores the joyful, mind-boggling and sometimes heart-breaking process of unearthing childhood artifacts, and being enveloped by forgotten memories and a sense of lost time. This deeply personal, yet whimsical and crafty narrative incorporates stop-motion photography, miniature sets, fairytale-inspired skits, elaborate handmade title cards, and voiceover narration."
"Memory and the Collection of Sentimental Objects" - research paper by Bethany J. Ostrander
"This research paper explores the relationship between memories and the collection of sentimental objects and takes a poignant look at emotional attachment to possessions. It endeavors to identify how mnemonic objects trigger the neurological recollection process, why certain objects gain sentimentality above others, and how excessive possessions impact future memory storage."
