For 5 years, I had been involved in documentary observation of a couple, from their engagement to divorce.
In the final version of the film about divorce, I decided to show their last day together as a family, superimposing on these images their statements about their relationship, right after separation, in order to “loop time”, reflecting the mental state of my characters.
The film got to the stage of a rough cut, no sound design and colour grading had been completed.
The male character consented to its publication, which would have enabled further work on the film, however for the female character it proved “too intimate” to be shown to the public.
I provide access to the rough cut only with the individual consent of the character, each time informing her who and why will view it.
