The event
How can we portray reality when images are missing, memories are fragmented, or experience escapes the camera? Moving through memory, exile, fear, the body and identity, these five films turn animation into a documentary language of its own. Drawings, textures and imagined worlds give form to the intimate and invisible, revealing other ways of seeing and telling the world. A pont.E screening as part of Let’s Doc!

Fear of dogs - What are memories? Recollections of the past, or a fragmented idea of who we are?

As he considers what lingers and what remains, he seeks to understand this feeling and how it shapes who we are.
