Intermission
Synopsis
It’s a film about suspension. A suspension of thought.Its inspired by the disappearance of Mariam Makhniashvili who disappeared in Toronto but was found dead two years after. It’s about remembrance, the power of a suspended thought. When a loved one disappears or someone vanishes for no reason, no trace, no answer, no closure, our thoughts enter a very specific state of mind. A state that is not clearly defined. The weight, our imagination, our love, our hope become a suspension, a powerful and emotional state. This suspension becomes an Intermission.
