Description

That poured its hot breath is an evocation of memory and identity that takes the form of a poetic video diary. Kalin endows intimate "home movie" scenes of travel and personal life with mystery and melancholy. A quote from Alfred Chester serves to destabilize the lyrical nostalgia of the rhythmic images.
