Edible Memories by Marije Vogelzang

Marije Vogelzang uses food as a storytelling device to explore people's memories and communicate their stories, taking advantage of taste and smell's unique power to bypass the processing parts of our brain and connect with our emotional self. The film captures an elderly woman's dramatic memories from World War II as conjured through one of Marije's concepts.
