Memories, mirrors, madness and Memento collide in this experimental video essay focusing on the photographs and photographers in thousands of narrative films. A stream-of-consciousness meditation on cinema, photography, identity, memory and dreams narrated by an insomniac who obsesses over images.

Surveying thousands of fiction films, Mike Olenick’s experimental video essay sees cinema as a corridor of mirrors, where similar tropes and images bounce off one another in a hallucinatory dance. Mysterious and obsessive, this stream-of-consciousness meditation links the act of seeing to dreaming.
