Slot 2: Letters to the Past - ROOTS

Check out 'Zeevlam', 'Her Forest, Tearless as Stone' and 'Lamparilla' in this slot at ROOTS Film Festival 2024.

Slot 2: Letters to the Past consists of the following films:

Zeevlam (Joris van den Einden) - Zeevlam is the letter the author writes to his mother, Brenda, echoing a letter she wrote to him as a baby to capture a fleeting moment. During his mother’s illness and absence from the sea, the film reflects on their shared connection to the coast—a timeless place where everything returns and flows away. Dutch spoken. 8 minutes.

Her Forest, Tearless as Stone (Enrico Carpi) - In this short film, the filmmaker revisits the landscape of his grandmother's youth, where her resilience and gratitude for life were forged despite the loss of both parents and years of hardship. Through her memories and the unchanged natural surroundings, he explores the enduring strength and mystery rooted in her past. Italian spoken. 9 minutes.

Lamparilla (Anabel Pérez Lubián) - Lamparilla, is an attempt to visualise the memories stored in an apartment. Remembering the mundane, the artists focuses on the objects, as they contain a residue of our memories. Returning to La Habana Vieja, Cuba, she revisits and questions her experience of displacement. Spanish spoken. 8 minutes.

All films will be shown with English subtitles. The screening in Zaal 5 includes a Q&A with the makers, moderated by Filmhuis Den Haag.
