General Note
  • "It's not my memory of it" is a documentary about secrecy, memory and documents. The project mobilizes specific historical records as memories which flash up in a moment of danger, in order to raise questions about notions of disappearance and the tenuousness of historical fact in the current climate of terror. A dynamic of knowing and not knowing - central to practices of secrecy, memory, and documentation - is elaborated through 3 recollected documents:
    A former CIA source recounts his disappearance through shredded classified documents that were painstakingly reassembled by radical fundamentalist students in Iran in 1979. A CIA film - recorded in 1974 but anacknowledged until 1992 - documents the burial at sea of six Soviet sailors, in a ceremony which collapses Cold War antagonisms in a moment of death and honor. An image pertaining to a publicy acknowledged but top secret U.S. missile strike in Yemen 2002 is the source of a reflection on representation and the practice of preemption.
    These records are punctuated by fragments of interviews with information management officials from various federal agencies, who distinguish between "real" and "protocol" secrets, explain what it means to "neither confirm nor deny" the existence of records on a given subject, and clarify the process of separating classified from unclassified information.
