Tangled

Pille-Riin Jaik / Austria / 2017 / International Premiere / 6 min.

synopsis

Stitched-together photographs become a drama in which memories are tangled, pierced by holes, and deformed in order to hide the seams of a story of falling in love, being in love, and the end of love, and to inspire further stories in which a family picture reflects norms of behaviour and stereotypes associated with the experience of love.

“Relationships with loved ones are always complicated tangled threads. Fragile and solid, addictive and lonely, forming beautiful patterns and painful collisions. The film is an attempt to transmit that vortex into an apprehensible form.” P.-R. Jaik
