Swallow

Running time: 9'

Swallow
Production: UK / Scotland 2013

In this film, food (which seems to be something specific and down-to-earth on a day-to-day basis) gains an entirely different meaning than satisfying one of life's most basic needs. The footage of food, caught on 8- and 16-mm tape, evokes memories and emotions. Personal stories told by various voices are imposed on the different shots, also including food, and merged by the narrators' memories. A multi-layered story created this way is simultaneously existential and emotional.
