How it feels

This experimental film is set in a classic courtyard showing the beauty of decay. It visualizes time as a concrete and intense experience, allowing the viewer to reconnect with the childlike absorption in the moment.

What happens

Manuela Jemma Uri Memento er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1981 instrueret af Michael Kirkegaard. 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 opslugethed af sin handlinger, barnets selvforglemmende tidsoplevelse.
