Imagine waking up tomorrow without recalling today. All recollections are deleted. Imagine living without a background history, without recognizing those who know you. Imagine encountering the world as if it was for the first time. And finally, imagine this happening to you while travelling alone on a train in China. “Hunting Down Memory” is a true story about Øyvind Aamot, who suddenly lost 27 years of his memory. He remembered nothing from his life. NOTHING! For most people, this would have been a dreadful experience, an ominous and frightening event in their life. For Øyvind, it was an adventure. He is neither traumatized nor paralyzed, he is just curious. He wants to know what happened, but he would also like to know what cottage cheese and blueberry pie taste like.
“We went out there, together with Øyvind, searching for his lost memory. At the same time, we wanted to experience the world as Øyvind saw it, with no memory of his past. It was an adventure which I am now delighted to be able to share with others”, – says director Thomas Lien.
Thomas Lien was born 1971 in Norway. Lien has worked in the film industry since 1991 in various capacities (production and camera assistant on a number of feature films; assisting editor on two feature films and editor of several short films and commercials). From 1996 to 2003 he was captain on a cruise around the world. He made his directorial debut in 1995, with the short film „Depth Solitude“ (co-directed with Joachim Solum).
