Home movies often lack finesse, but when they're yours they take on a world of meaning, allowing you to step back in time and experience it all again.
Can a mental movie suffice in the absence of a concrete image?
If we play and replay our visual, auditory and sensory memories on a loop will they retain a connection to the original memory - and does that matter?
Perhaps the unconscious plays editor to our memories better than we would with the best software. We can choose to accentuate those moments that may not be possible to capture in film: the adrenaline, the giddy effects of alcohol, or a moment of synchronicity when there is a sensation that everything has fallen into place.
Rewind. Repeat.
