Lights, Haze

(Belgium/Finland/Georgia/Portugal, 2024, 8’04)

Utopian symbolic playgrounds from memories are interconnected through sharp, flickering lights.

Description: Lights, Haze is a poetic documentary that explores the ambivalence of memory through the real locations on the outskirts of Tbilisi. The film uses light as a central symbolic element to express the complexity of these reflections. Crafted with a blend of 2D frame-by-frame animation—both digital and analogue—the film weaves in a cyanotype sequence, where frames were printed using real light, adding an experimental and dreamlike quality to the narrative. The film emphasizes extreme subjectivity within the genre of animated documentary.
