Memory as construction and as internal pulse. Spendo, on the edge of suicide, relives her life, reconstructs it and, finally, liberates herself. Sadness flows and fills the space. The hours coexist and intertwine. The world: a flesh-eating mechanism. A descend begins, a rhythmic immersion into the depths of memory, where evil appears in the form of good. Until memory no longer repeats itself; a new viewpoint sneaks in. The hours are noiselessly formed anew. Violent dependence is left in the past.

The film will be preceded by Antoinetta Angelidi and Rea Walldén’s short film 121280 Ritual (1980/2012, 16 mins).

Antoinetta Angelidi (b. 1950) is a pioneering Greek filmmaker and visual artist whose works regularly distance viewers from reality “in order to reach out to the Real.” Her feminist, surreal movies pull from both her dreams and art history, regularly inverting codes and employing multiple narratives. Her 1995 masterwork The Hours: A Square Film (1995) is a deeply autobiographical film that alludes to a traumatic experience she had as a child. Angelidi considers it “the final product of a long, unsuccessful psychoanalysis… When it was finished, I felt redeemed.”
