Memory

Memory (2026) is a poetic autobiographical hybrid film you can watch online on iFILM. Director Vladlena Sandu was six years old when her parents' divorce moved her from Crimea to Grozny — just as the first Chechen war was about to reshape the city and everyone living in it.

Decades later, Sandu returns to that childhood with a camera, tracing how armed conflict rewrites a family from the inside and how that imprint carries forward through generations. Produced across France, the Netherlands, and Russia, the film mixes documentary footage with staged scenes — not as a genre exercise, but because that layered form turns out to be the only honest way to hold a story this close to the bone.
