In DINAH’s latest release, “Silent Movie,” memory is imagined as an old film that keeps on playing. It shuffles through black-and-white images before red, blue, and green are added to the picture, a vivid portrait of experiences still impossible to lock away entirely. The line “Still the silent picture plays” becomes the song's haunting refrain, challenging the idea that memories can be easily put away. The question of why we set aside some moments when they are so present is quietly emotional. “Silent Movie” has a cinematic feel for the weird tenacity of memories.
