She was afraid to call it love (she called it swimming)

Abstract

Treball de l'assignatura: El pensament de les Imatges: l’assaig audiovisual, de segon trimestresdel màster en Estudis de Cinema i Audiovisual Contemporanis. Curs 2015-2016She was afraid to call it love, she called it swimming es un intento de recordar esas imágenes que nunca hemos visto, de sentir de nuevo esas sensaciones que no hemos conocido todavía. El film se construye a partir de extractos del proyecto de Anne Charlotte Robertson "Five Year Diary" en la apropiación de su búsqueda de alguien que ha desaparecido (Emily) en el lugar donde fue enterrado su cuerpo: el jardín. La voz que acompaña a las imágenes se compone de fragmentos de diferentes libros que se presentan reordenados como un viaje poético alrededor de otros tiempos y espacios.She was afraid to call it love, she called it swimming is an attempt to remember those images that we have never seen, to feel again those feelings that we haven't known yet. With this purpose we use excerpts from Anne Charlotte Robertson's "Five Year Diary", a project on film. We appropriate her memories, her search of that one who has gone away (called Emily) in the place where her body was buried: the garden. The voice in the video reads a collection of excerpts taken from different books and reordenated to compose a poetry piece about the appropriation of the memories (expressed both in images and literary text) from those who where here in the past and that we will never personally meet because we live in different times and spaces
