Mediabox: Kristina Laine & Albert Laine: Memories in the Clouds (2023)

Memories in the Clouds visualizes Kristina (Žičkutė) Laine’s childhood memories in Soviet Lithuania. The experimental film brings forth Kristina’s worldview as a child, during the vast socio-political changes of the collapsing Soviet Union. 

Memories blend with moods in a painterly experimental film. Kristina’s Lithuanian voiceover narrates the journey. Past meets the present, documenting the ephemeral definition of real and memory, and how memories change each time they are accessed. 

The memories can differ vastly from actual events and thus, are always subject to interpretation.

Memories are visualized as unstable, fragile, and capricious. Clouds come and go, but the magnificent sky remains overseeing the horizon. 

The film is based on a combination of timelapse videos of a summer sky, shot in Lithuania and 3D animation. The film also utilizes modern AI algorithms as animators, to visualize the narrated features into the moving clouds.
