Do you fear death? Don´t be frightened...´ A boy spends hours on a busy holiday-beach. His impressions and thoughts intertwine to a current perception, that is concerned with transience. The cinematic essay `Memento Mori´ aims to understand life and death as a unit and questions the fear of death.

The form of the film is one of a fable, that grafts Thomas Mann’s 1925 novella, Death in Venice, to the contemporary issue of African refugees and immigrants in Italy. The film takes Mann’s book as a nexus point and expands upon a number of themes inherent in it. In Sea of Ash, Mann’s character Tadzio is an immigrant to Italy from West Africa (Senegal) who has survived the treacherous and often fatal journey by sea. While the lead character of the original – von Aschenbach – is embodied in the unseen filmmaker himself. The narrative of the film follows Tadzio on a short journey from the remarkable Brion Cemetery at San Vito in the mountains of Northern Italy to the coastal area of the Venetian lagoon. On Lido Island he visits the famous Hotel dés Bains as featured in Luchino Visconti’s 1971 film version of Death in Venice. The film concludes on the dés Baines beach, with Tadzio embarking on a doomed attempt to return home.

The found-footage film „Jamais-vu“ shows archetypical situations which, in this new montage, are perceived as different and strange. This panorama presents a gamut of emotional sensory impressions focussing on cinema as the means of expressing the condition of a culture. All about heart, skin and brains, eyes and genitalia, consciousness and sub-consciousness, in short, all about cinemastory – cinema stories: or, all about life, from birth to death.
