Don't Forget

Don't Forget is a psychological short film exploring the hidden consequences of smartphone addiction and memory loss.

The story follows Glenn, a young man whose growing dependence on his phone leads him into a mysterious room with no apparent escape. As years pass, he gradually realizes that the prison surrounding him is a reflection of his own deteriorating memory.

The visual language was built around this duality by combining two distinct cinema camera systems to separate reality from Glenn's increasingly fragmented inner world.

Supported by Demenz Forschung Schweiz – Stiftung Synapsis, Don't Forget is scheduled for release in 2027.
