Amarandos (2024)

Děj

“Amarandos”, the flower whose colour lasts eternal, is a messy vase of memory, dealing with transitions to other realms, while in the incomprehensible process of mourning , making worlds out of loss and time. It is a celebration,that attempts through the story of my Pontiac grandmother and her gradual fade out of her physical body due to Alzheimer illness, to weave through our songs and dances, the spaces we make to meet each other. Through this experimental short documentary, cultural and intimate narratives bring up collective questions around vulnerability, resilience and survival ,affectionate strategies. Can dancing and singing our sorrow, create spells to disrupt the normative linear narrative of memory and channel ancenstral story tellings of empowerment and togetherness to now?
