Two photojournalists bring a large format camera to Southeast Asia to portray Asian elephants living in captivity and to record their biographies.

Life Size Memories (2011)
Klaus Reisinger & Frédérique Lengaigne
(120 min., color, Blu-Ray, US)
Sunday, March 25, 2012
Union South Marquee Theater

Too often we view wild animals as generic representatives of their species. But Life Size Memories attempts to change all that, discovering individual beings that stand out in human consciousness. The film follows two experienced war photojournalists who train their lenses on the elephants in war zones across southeast Asia to create life-sized photographic portraits of the individuals. What do these portraits augur for the fate of the elephant? Reisinger and Lengaigne's beautiful film travels to four different nations to find a complicated answer -- that regional variations in both human and elephant cultures will ultimately determine which individuals live and which become mere faded memories.
