THE PAST IS NOW

This film represents my final year dissertation project in which I explored the modalities of postmodern nostalgia. It materialised through 55 anonymous answers received in a questionnaire asking 'What makes you nostalgic?'. While reading the answers I allowed myself to be inundated with synaesthetic impressions of the moment and envision the emotions through moving colours. The honesty of the answers moved me to tears and they reminded me that time is an intense condition of existence and we should love more often and mean it.
