World Premiere
Following three female figures as they revisit the places of their childhood, this film summons up, through the devices it employs, the crossed categories of individual memory and history in a space which is itself composed of the accumulated layers of past and present.
Set in France, Poland and Algeria, the film looks at how we are affected by history in the places where we grow up. Three journeys of recollections and words set against the images and sounds of the landscapes. It is an examination of the relationship between subjective memory, territory and the consciousness of the adult.
Claire Angelini, born in 1969 in Nizza, France and currently lives and works in Munich and Paris. Study of Fine Arts at the ENSBA in Paris and Art History in the Sorbonne. Her videos were exhibited in numerous installations. Besides her audiovisuell works she also publishes artist books.
