An ode to film, between document and fiction, the ethereal filmic amalgamation by Neritan Zinxhiria creatively reconstructs the sense of memory, highlighting the tools of Art, as well as the technique of cinema.
Before he died in 1932, a monk created his own camera in one of the most isolated places in the world. Nearly a century later, a filmmaker discovers and reconstructs the 3,000 preserved photographic plates, blending them with his own evocative Super 8, crafting a cinematic pilgrimage where the past interlaces seamlessly with the present in a spellbinding visual narrative that defies the constraints of time itself. A meditative trip to space and time, nominated for a Tiger Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival and Grand Prix awarded at Slamdance, Athens Film Festival, Tabor Film Festival, Manaki Brothers Film Festival, Drama International Short Film Festival, and from the Hellenic Film Academy.
