Ramirez film named Best Experimental Short at Toronto
Printed Memories (Recuerdos Impresos), a film directed by Media School doctoral student and associate instructor Javier Ramirez, was named Best Experimental Short at the 2016 Toronto Short Film Festival.
Ramirez made the film in collaboration with Jacobs School of Music graduate student Alex Blank, who composed the film score, and Jacobs School graduate student Nico Useche, who designed the film’s sound, for the fourth annual IU Double Exposure film festival in 2015.
Ramirez identifies as a “long-distance dad” because his daughter lives in Texas while he attends IU. For him, Printed Memories represents his daughter, he said. The film also deals with the death of his grandmother of Alzheimer’s and his uncle of brain cancer.
Ramirez has submitted works to Double Exposure four times, and Printed Memories also has been selected for the Blowup Film Festival Aug. 28-31 in Chicago.
