Director Statement

"To Sleep at Christmas" was made by combining material shot in 1996/98 and 2022, with the same camera and vhs-technology. The short film aims to address the problems relating to the excessive importance given to today's technological devices. Through a cut and sew operation, it becomes immediate to get lost in the assembly and believe in the authenticity of everything we see.
