Memento, released by Exclusive Media Group’s Newmarket Films, will be screened from an all-new, director-approved, high-definition digital print.

All films are linear. They play from beginning to end. That's linear. The only way it could be non-linear is to put the chapter selection on shuffle or program it yourself to play in a different order.

That would Chelsea Girls;>

The story in Memento is, of course, non-linear.

In other words, from the BluRay master? How is that high-definition compared to the 2K theatrical digital print?

Movie studios are putting more of their older "catalog" movies through 2K, 4K or even higher resolution scans and doing digital intermediate work on them specifically for release on Blu-ray. The finished DI can be used as a source for both digital cinema release or release on Blu-ray.
