Memories come and go and some are lost forever. This award-winning short film from Radoslaw Sienski captures a whirlwind of emotions in two minutes that balances the past with the present and an inevitable future. An old man finds a film strip on the ground and when he looks at the frames he sees himself in the past. He continue to locate these strips of film as he walks through the city. Memory after memory is put forward and his reaction to the past is like a young man experiencing the world for the first time, until he reaches his home and shuts the door. The reality of the situation interrupts the playful memories and audiences are reminded of the fragility of life. One of the more interesting shorts I have seen in some time. I will remember to revisit this one in future when I am older. At least I hope to.
