Acts of Memory opens as the sound of a powder flash ignites, bringing to life a photograph taken in the search room of a public archive in Dublin, Ireland, frozen in time since 1914. This moment, acknowledges a vanished past; neither the figures captured in the photo, the building nor its contents, remain.
