Edited Memories takes us inside a memory care center for people with Alzheimer's disease in San Diego, California. Built on the principles of reminiscence therapy, the facility recreates a complete 1950s-60s environment - diner, local pub, pet store, public square - designed to provide an immersive experience. Everything here is fabricated, or rather, everything is fiction. The film observes this unusual therapeutic setting where artificial décor blends with residents' authentic memories, blurring the line between documentary and staged performance. The words we hear, repetitive and fragile, expose the place's essential ambiguity: care facility or film set? Patients or actors replaying their own lives? Through deliberate editing choices, this confusion turns the center into a soundstage where memory becomes performance, where remembering merges with its therapeutic reenactment. The film asks what happens to our life stories when memory fails, when recollections fade—suspended between lived experience and constructed narrative. Yet it seeks to reveal what remains: each person's irreducible singularity.
