The director Joaquim Pinto has been living with HIV and VHC for nearly two decades. This video journal chronicles one year of his participation in experimental clinical studies, during which he undergoes treatments with toxic, mind- altering pharmaceutical drugs. Pinto’s reflections on memory, epidemic, and globalization are articulated in contrast to the film’s setting of a remote, rural home that the filmmaker shares with his partner. What Now? Remind Me is a tribute to love, dissent and friendships both past and present.

1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
