Wild Flowers

My father used a camera just once in his lifetime. After 30 years he asked me to digitise the VHS material he filmed. I was wondering what he remembers.

'(On the decision to have a counterpoint between the images and the conversation in the soundtrack.) A question that is very important for me is why someone who never thought about using a camera takes one, and how he remembers it later.

For him it was a very important moment in his life. It's obvious that he clearly remembers some points of the recording even though it was 30 years earlier; but other moments are totally lost in his memory. I wanted to face the materiality of film with the memory of a person. For me there was something very meaningful in that conversation; him "seeing" images once more with my eyes, in the gaps of his remembering, in black spots, intending to remember—it was like creating a story from scratch even if it already happened.' - Karla CRNČEVIĆ
