The most fascinating aspect of this movie is not only the intense lockdown imposed by the Chinese government but also the various forms of resistance from people, both humorous and serious. Simultaneously, the use of found footage from different perspectives creates a captivating and heart-stirring experience, presenting events that have detached themselves from reality in the clips. It's a broader and deeper perspective, showcasing the enthralling use of art for documentation and resistance.

Pauline Julier offers us dream-like experiences while our consciousness is still awake, with a series of narrative recollections divided into four stories. You will find yourselves diving into a common ground and discovering that all tales (notwithstanding the texts) are related to each other. Not surprisingly, Cercate Ortensia portrays its finest craftsmanship by illustrating our dream experiences as inseparable vertical layers, in contrast to regular narrative orders in horizontal lines, making them communicable to the outside party.

JURY DECLARATION

Using the method of changing perspectives on memory and archiving, the exploration of new possibilities of historical aspects has been accomplished through not just remembering, but also forgetting. It is about reconstructing and creating anew the things that have been forgotten, which turn into evidence of existence that hasn't been recorded. Rubbish transforms into objects in the museum, and the shadow of that memory radiates light.

JURY DECLARATION

This movie is not like any other movies, but more like a beautiful art collage in every frame. In a world where advancements in visuals and cinematography have made it easy and sharp, at times, everything seems repetitive and lifeless. Watching this movie is like being pulled back to see the surface and reconnecting with the senses of touch once again.

JURY DECLARATION

The movie took us deep into the realm of a young woman's thoughts. We weren't sure what she had encountered in her life, but the juxtaposition of footage and drawings depicting certain emotional states in the film worked intensely . It felt surprisingly impactful and profoundly relatable. The movie made us reflect on the constant flow of thoughts that never seem to stop, whether we are awake or dreaming. These thoughts meander like water in a basin, and as much as we try to shout them out, the echoes come back in full force. If this movie were like a diary of someone we had the chance to read, we would wish for her to breathe freely and let everything flow into this film like a drainage pipe.
