Declaration
film director
“It was clear to me from the beginning that Sound of Falling is, among other things, a film about the act of remembering itself, about how perception and memory work. And I have found for myself that I can remember from the body, that I can look at myself from the outside in the aftermath of an experience, although I didn't look at myself that way in the situation, of course. It quickly became clear to me that I wanted to tell the film from these extremely subjective points of view, with every new breaks when characters look at themselves again from the vantage point of another time.”
