A Conversation With My Past | Oldie But Goldie Challenge 2025

  • Michelangelo Torres

Some footage doesn’t age. It ripens. This short visual journey is a reflection on the stories I've told, the people I've met, and the places I’ve seen through the lens of my work as a documentary filmmaker. Old clips, forgotten hard drives, but memories that still breathe. To enhance the sense of intimacy and nostalgia, I chose to frame the entire piece in a 4:3 aspect ratio, a nod to the visual language of older cameras and family home videos. Sometimes, a narrower frame lets us look deeper. Created for the Oldie But Goldie Challenge by MotionVFX, using their analog-inspired editing tools. Thanks for taking a moment to look back with me. Music Track: Laurent Buczek - Gymnopedie 1 (Erik Satie)
