Compact Disc

Years after experiences of interrogation and imprisonment, the director gathers his close friends to return to fragments of a past that never fully passed. Together, they look at images and moments once sealed away, not to reconstruct events, but to sense what still lingers. As memories surface through scars, dreams, humor, and silence – and through obsolete technology – the film traces a shared attempt to make space for one another, and observes how trauma lives on in the body and in everyday life. Some images return clearly; others remain unstable, fading or breaking apart. Rather than filling these gaps or moving past them too quickly, ‘Compact Disc’ stays with them—searching for what might emerge when unspeakable moments are allowed to exist, held collectively, without demand for resolution.
