Since 1977, Sam Klemke has been rerding himself on film, the #selfieavantlalettre. In that same year, NASA launched the Voyager with the Golden Rerd. Whereas NASA primarily sketches a positive picture of humanity, Klemke's honest self portraits zoom in on the individual. A special film about time, memory and what it means to be human. ‘This year will be my year, it has to be!’ Since 1977, Sam Klemke - a pioneer status updater - has looked back on ‘his year’ using video. With the illusion of gress, he hopes to enurage ‘personal growth and imvement’. Documentary maker Matthew Bate met Klemke on Facebook and became acquainted with his video 35 Years Back Through Time, a super-cut in which Klemke unts backwards from 2011 to his ambitious teenage self. Intrigued by this obsessive film ject, Bate used Klemke's personal archive to create a documentary llage that feels like an intimate road trip, with Klemke viding valuable lessons about time. Along the way, he dismantles the dream of suess and happiness. Klemke's self-mockery and honesty give the whole thing a light, breezy feel. Through this, Bate interweaves NASA’s Golden Rerd Project which, just like Klemke’s video ject, was launched in 1977. This juxtaposition creates a reflection in which Bate sketches the prehension of time and self-documenting stories as an inherent human need.展开
