An eye doesn't forget

Giuseppe Chiesa

Italy

2008 * Beta digital *4:07

The eye records and the brain memorize, but memories with the time fade away. Is it possible to remember the first days of life and to never forget the first time when the sea is seen? In the realization of the short film I used old familiar 8mm films and I tread them with acid and enamel. I wanted to create a worm out image as a perfect metaphor of memories.
