Experimental short film 7.38 min, 16:9 2K
Kristina Laine, Albert Laine
Memories in the Clouds -exhibition in Kuutio (2nd floor) during Oodi's opening hours 15.6 - 2.8. 2026. Welcome!
Memories in the Clouds visualizes Kristina (Žičkutė) Laine’s childhood memories in the Soviet occupied Lithuania. The film brings forth Kristina's worldview as a child, during the vast socio-political changes of the collapsing Soviet Union. Thoughts blend with moods in a painterly experimental film, written in a structured form of a poetic narration.
In the film, a blue sky presents memories as clouds that glimmer, transform and merge into one another like a living watercolor painting. The Lithuanian voice-over is spoken by Kristina herself -now as an adult woman, telling her story in the first person. In the film, past and present meet in the fragile shapes of drifting memory.
The film is based on a combination of timelapse videos of a summer sky, shot in Lithuania and volumetric 3D simulation. Certain sections of the film are animated with 2D techniques and rotoscoping. The film utilizes an AI algorithm (VQGAN + CLIP) as animators to visualize the narrated features to the moving clouds.
The film features subtitles in both Finnish and English.
