REMINISCENCE

Eleonore and Jonas, an elderly couple, invite a real estate agent round to sell their flat. While Eleonore barely speaks, Jonas reminisces about their first encounter, which happened 60 years ago in this very flat. Two versions of the past reach us simultaneously – his story via sound; hers via images.

Director's biography

Kristijonas Dirsė

Kristijonas Dirsė is an audiovisual artist and filmmaker, born in Vilnius, Lithuania in 1992. In his work, he combines music and sonic art with visual expression in the form of narrative and non-narrative films, music videos, audiovisual installations, and projections for the stage.

Music plays a major role in Kristijonas’ storytelling. This is especially notable through his collaborations with the Lithuanian composer Dominykas Digimas. Their recent works, “Why Does This Appear?” and “Sunshine Cake”, explore the question of subjectivity in memories, as well as experimenting with docu-fiction storytelling in the form of a silent film with music. Kristijonas recently returned to Lithuania after 10 years abroad, and is currently completing his first Lithuanian short film, “Reminiscence”.
