Nostalgia of Everything(en)

"Nostalgia of Everything", the second short film experiment in the Experimental Test trilogy, blends fragments of the director’s personal past with newly filmed material. It features scenes originally shot as memories, never intended for a film and later combined with a few moments captured specifically for this project. As with the first entry in the trilogy (Days, Months, Years and Nothing Else), all visuals were filmed quickly using a phone camera, under natural light, without any formal setup. The monologue was written during post-production, crafted to emotionally resonate with the imagery and the atmosphere shaped by the non-original soundtrack, Mystery Man by Terje Rypdal. The result is a piece guided more by instinct and feeling than by structure, a personal reconstruction of meaning through memory.
