MEMENTO MURI

Italy 2025 — Directed by: Jonathan Bugiel — 32 min — Spoken language: English — Subtitles: English — Production: ZeLIG - School for documentary — Producer: Emanuele Vernillo

Amidst the crumbling remnants of the Atlantic Wall a journey unfolds. Echoes of life and death reverberate from shore to shore.

Along the Atlantic coast, concrete giants once forged by fascists to keep Europe under their reign, are now slowly reclaimed by sand and sea. Silent witnesses, the cruelties of war and occupation etched into their DNA, they now stand testimony of contemporary life. In between them an enduring interplay of harm and protection unravels.
