ABSTRACT The foundation of my film Mnemophrenia was about practising theory instead of theorizing the practice. My project begins with theory, which then leads to the science fiction film Mnemophrenia that constitutes the practical aspect of it. My film demonstrates how theory and practice can be joined and creates a fruitful union, each one feeding the other. My original theoretical hypothesis is founded on the much-discussed subject of the close relationship between film and memory and more specifically the possible creation of ‘artificial’ memories. Mnemophrenia showcases how film can be a memory system itself, consequently affecting memory and creating artificial memories for the viewers. In Mnemophrenia reality and fiction are integrated, mutually negating each other, since the established reality depicted in the film is proven to be ‘artificial’, based fully on different Virtual Reality films. Ultimately the film and this thesis aim to explore the future of cinema that leads to the blurring of real and artificial memories. Together they attempt to demonstrate the dissolution of these boundaries, to display the two-way relationship of reality and fiction and to showcase how theory fuels practice and practice enlivens theory.

实践理论：记忆症——关于电影和人工记忆未来的电影论文

摘要 我的电影 Mnemophrenia 的基础是实践理论而不是理论化实践。我的项目从理论开始，然后是构成它的实践方面的科幻电影《记忆症》。我的电影展示了理论和实践如何结合并创造出富有成效的结合，彼此相辅相成。我最初的理论假设是建立在电影和记忆之间的密切关系这一讨论广泛的主题上，更具体地说，是建立在“人工”记忆的可能创造之上。Mnemophrenia 展示了电影本身如何成为一种记忆系统，从而影响记忆并为观众创造人工记忆。在记忆症中，现实与虚构融为一体，相互否定，因为电影中描绘的既定现实被证明是“人造的”，完全基于不同的虚拟现实电影。最终，这部电影和本论文旨在探索导致真实和人工记忆模糊的电影的未来。他们一起试图证明这些界限的消散，展示现实与虚构的双向关系，并展示理论如何推动实践和实践如何活跃理论。
