Original version
WHAT
Anemoia is a film about a fictional character in a non-fictional world, named Anna. So Anna is my alter ego in a way, the world she’s looking at is the one we live in today. You never actually see her physically because she’s looking through the eyes of the camera, or sharing her thoughts by talking to us.
Anna has this problem that her own nostalgia is keeping her from living in the present. She longs for a deeper connection with nature and a life more offscreen than on screen. Though these feelings are very genuine to her, she wonders if this nostalgia is actually real, authentic, or it just appears to be. By visiting several places which seem to be authentic Anna hopes to find answers, but daydreams occure and a life in the ‘here and now’ seems unreachable.
