Before the billion-dollar blockbusters. Before Batman. Before Oppenheimer. Memento was the film that introduced Christopher Nolan to the world.
26 years ago, Nolan released his second feature film, Memento. This independent thriller quickly became a cultural phenomenon, earning Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing. Memento introduced the world to Nolan’s narrative puzzles, fractured timelines and obsessive attention to detail that would come to define his work.
For this special presentation, an acclaimed artist will create an all-new score performed live alongside the film. The identity of our mystery collaborator remains under wraps until pre-sale. Here's a clue: it’s percussion-heavy.
Part film screening, part live concert, Hear My Eyes has spent over a decade creating immersive cinema experiences, building a loyal following through collaborations including Terminator 2: Judgment Day with Peter Van Hoesen and Robin Fox, Chopper with Springtime and Mick Harvey, Wake in Fright with Surprise Chef and Pan's Labyrinth with Sleep D.
For Nolan devotees and anyone who loves cinema that takes risks, revisit the cult classic reimagined live with an all-new score.
Hear My Eyes productions are curated and produced by Haydn Green

Is the Hear My Eyes score performed entirely live, or are elements of the original score retained?
It's entirely live, and entirely new. None of the film's original score is retained. Instead, a brand-new score is composed especially for this film, written over many months and rehearsed meticulously for these specific performances. From start to finish, everything you hear is happening in real time, right in front of you. You have to be in the room to truly experience it.Is the re-imagined score endorsed by the film's rights holders?
Yes. Every Hear My Eyes production is fully endorsed by the film's rights holders, so you can settle in knowing this reinterpretation has their blessing.
Will I still hear the dialogue?
You will. All of the film's original dialogue, foley and sound effects are kept exactly as you remember them, woven right into the experience. The only element we've lifted out is the film's original score, making room for the live performance to take its place.Which version of Memento will be screened?
The one and only, Christopher Nolan's original, mind-bending cut, exactly as it was released to cinemas. No alternate edits, just the film in all its backwards-unfolding glory.
