CAT ON MY MIND

by Laila Pakalnina

synopsis

The film will be a cinematic poem to be written using the light that was shining some 40-50 years ago. It will be recalling of strange memories through exposed photo negatives of 1968-78 found in a dustbin (of which pictures have never been produced, most probably). We have named the unknown photographer as Anton, the son of Aunt Emma. Looking through his blueprints (with many imprecisions: indistinct sharpness, random elements in the shot, wipes, accidental and double exposures, etc.), we will imagine what he felt and what he thought, as well as what people he took the photographs of felt and thought. More precisely – what our lives would be if these were our photos.
