It's a flashback for her, not us

I watched season 1 of Continuum over the past few days, and I'm having a terminology issue. We see scenes of Kiera as a police officer in the year 2077. These scenes are her memories, so they are flashbacks for her. But from the audience's point of view, these scenes take place about 65 years in the future.

Do we still call these scenes flashbacks since the show is from Kiera's point of view? Or is there a better word?
