Sky Hopinka’s Lore is seen as a knowledge of memory passed down and shared… as a pastiche of rumination, reproduction, and creation. He experiments with nostalgia, landscape, and memory through a lens that sees the earth as a gift giver.

“Images of friends and landscapes are cut, fragmented, and reassembled on an overhead projector as hands guide their shape and construction in this film stemming from Hollis Frampton’s “Nostalgia”. The voice tells a story about a not too distant past, a not too distant ruin, with traces of nostalgia articulated in terms of lore; knowledge and memory passed down and shared not from wistful loss, but as a pastiche of rumination, reproduction, and creation.”
