Memorabilia
Voiced by award-winning Australian actor Matilda Ridgway, Memorabilia draws on the Powerhouse museum's incredible collection of space ephemera to create an evocative hybrid documentary which blends fact and fiction. Combining fascinating archive with dramatic performance, the film interrogates how and why flown space memorabilia comes to be collected and stored for posterity, and why these objects exert such a strong pull on the human imagination. Memorabilia was imagined and created during co-directors Ceridwen Dovey and Rowena Potts' tenure as Powerhouse Research Fellows in 2022.

eternityintheirhearts
eternityintheirhearts explores the dichotomy between ideas of eternity and the realities of human limits. Human lives are described by the beats of each person’s heart. One day, those lives will end. Mortals exist in less than an eyeblink in the timescale of the universe, but they presume to bandy about terms like “eternity” and “infinity” like they can really wrap our heads around such limitless concepts. But wrapped in darkness, bound by the limits human lifespans, humans persevere. Humans build, but decay and nature pulls down. Even natural “permanence” will vanish in time. Yet despite the limitations and contradicting the darkness, humans look to the stars and realize that eventually, someday, the universe will end either by entropy or by cosmic egg. But will it be a true ending, or will the cycle begin again?
