I am very happy with the result – BIG thanks to the actors!
Unfortunately we did not win anything, but to be honest, I thought the short might potentially be disqualified for not delivering the genre well enough... in the end it got screened in the Academy cinema and a lot of people watched it.
Here are some comments from the 48hours website.
Slightly puzzled responses really :)

Less of a time travel film and more of a tone poem. This film was done in an avant garde way where the director organized a series of visually interesting shots, poem recitations and invterviews. I don't believe there is a particular narrative that's discernible to the audience but some of the stop-motion effect shots look particularly cool and I believe there is a joke at the end about the circular nature of time travel. Something to look upon and think about.

A serious piece where people talk about their interactions with, seemingly, the same person, intercut with poetry readings.
To be honest, I didn’t really get this film. Partly because I switched off about two thirds of the way through, but in their defence, I’m a bit of a cretan. I liked the opening sequence with the jump cuts of the girl giving flirtive glances to the camera. And I liked the stop-motion effect used during the poetry readings, gave a very surreal feel to them. Also I thought the acting was very good. Sorry I wasn’t paying attention.
Review by Lambshank on April 26th, 2010Just didn't get this one. I was interested when the girl had a box of unrelated strange items and I wanted to learn more about that incident but it didn't go anywhere. Neat mirror effect.
