March 8, 2020: A Memoir, a desktop documentary that ventures into what the "Touristic Cameras" overlooking Taksim Square leave in the dark during the Feminist Night March. We watch Istanbul through the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality's cameras that broadcast live 24/7. A child playing with a red balloon, young people dancing in the streets, people taking souvenir photos, the Maiden's Tower, the Grand Bazaar... But do the Touristic Cameras also see the Feminist Night March? March 8, 2020: A Memoir, through screenshots, journeys through time to capture the memory of the last mass action in Istanbul before the pandemic.
