How it feels

Set in a classical courtyard marked by decaying beauty, this experimental film focuses on visualizing time. Through aesthetic concentration, it offers an intense experience of time and revisits a child's absorbed, self-forgetting way of experiencing it.

What happens

Manuella Jemma er en film instrueret af Michael Kirkegaard, Kathrine Ragnars. Filmen udfolder sig indenfor en klassisk atriumgård præget af forfaldets skønhed. Det centrale i denne meget velkomponerede film er visualiseringen af tiden. Gennem den æstetiske koncentration bliver tiden en konkret, intens oplevelse og giver os en genoplevelse af barnets særlige opslugthed af sine handlinger, barnets selvforglemmende tidsoplevelse.
