Water Washing Through Bones
Water washing


Laura Marie Wayne

Cuba
2014 /0:11:23

Water washing through bones is a series of hushed, contemplative moments that reflect the existence of Eduardo Zamora (78), one of the last remaining inhabitants of a dying mountain town in Cuba. A lone moon burns in a black sky and the silence is laced with flowing water; Eduardo’s world appears eternal and hypnotic but for his shaking hands, which hint at his fragility in the face of time. Inspired by Jorge Luis Borges’ musings on mirrors in The Aleph (1949), Water washing through bones is a portrait of both solitude and the search to see oneself reflected in another.

The Road

Suddenly abandoned by her lover, a young Canadian filmmaker takes refuge in a small town in Cuba. The camera glides through a melancholic Cuban landscape and heartache transforms with the recognition of the beauty of love and loss. A tender and deeply personal memoir, The Road is an invitation to celebrate sorrow and faith as cornerstones of the human experience.

Ode to John Wayne
 


Laura Marie Wayne

Cuba
2013 / 0:08:45

A childhood memory deconstructed. Using only found footage from her family's collection of home videos, the director re-visits the moment her baby brother was first brought home from the hospital and named. Combining this memory with footage of the first 'horror' film she shot when 11 years old, the director recycles the footage to evoke the 'trauma' of the arrival of her newborn sibling.

Most of Us don't Live There
Most of dont live there


Laura Marie Wayne

Canada, Cuba
2015 / 0:25:00

Most of Us Don’t Live There is a memoir, both visually stunning and heartbreakingly sincere; a young woman wanders the landscapes of her childhood and explores a life coloured by bipolar depression. Set in the powerful Canadian Rockies, the film draws a link between nature and the human mind and calls for a re-visioning of what we understand as mental illness.
