I'm Thinking About a Cat

The film will be a film poem written using the light that shone 40-50 years earlier. It will be a recollection of other people's memories, based on photo negatives found in a garbage container and exhibited in 1968-78, which were most likely never copied.

Looking at the drafts of the unknown photographer, whom we have named Anton, the son of Emma's aunt, his photographs (the so-called mistakes: blur, random elements in the frame, overexposure, technical double exposures, etc.), we will imagine what he felt and what he thought about, and what those he photographed felt and thought about. Or more precisely - how we would live if these were our photographs.
