"The Art of Forgetting" (Sri Lanka)

a film by Lisa Kois

Some people say forget the past. Others have no choice but to remember… These are their stories, set within the story of a journey from the northern-most tip of Sri Lanka to the southern-most, on the roads that cut through a landscape scarred by a conspiracy of violence and memory. “The Art of Forgetting” is the documentary filmmaking debut of Lisa Kois, who has lived in Sri Lanka for ten years and has worked on and grappled with questions of violence and memory. Lisa Kois is a researcher, writer and first-time filmmaker. (57 minutes)

The first in a series of a festival of films screened at the ICES on the theme of War & Peace
