Forgotten Memories

We keep old things so that we occasionally remind ourselves of memories we otherwise forget.

#memories from the #weddingday: the #nici #sheep was a gift from my girlfriends to me and I had with me in my purse. The #nailpolish was part of the "emergency kit to cheer up the bride" I gave each of them as a gift. It contained a small teddy bear, the nail polish for quick fix ups, a small perfume sample and a lip gloss (which was actually used!).

Remembering times when this #tree was small enough to decorate on #christmas... #grandparents #garden

The chair where the loveliest of #cats liked to sit on in the past 16 years. Her presence still lingers on. In the background, a chair from my cousins' old kitchen. They remind me of kindergarten and our lunches together. #forgotten #memories of #chairs

One thing most of my early #childhood memories share is the #light. As if they all happened on a warm #summer day with gorgeous #sunlight... much like the one in this picture. There's a special atmospheric warmth, optimism and positivity in all of them as if there truly were no worries in the world.

A draft I did for the poster of Shooting Europe #filmfestival (a project of #AEGEE tv). Unfortunately the third edition didn't happen anymore so the poster is the only thing that remained...

Seeing this #perfume on a list of discount offers I am suddenly realizing I once used to like it a lot. I didn't think you can also forget favorite perfumes if you stop using them for a while. I remember I've kept the empty #bottle quite some time as I loved its #design so much. Next time I'll see it in a shop will try it on to remind myself of its flagrance. #givenchy #play #perfume

I lived one tram station away from my cousins. I remember one time I was travelling with mum back home from their place, I was in no mood for walking. I told mum that they should invent mini chairs for people to use, so that they wouldn't need to walk. I even told her I was going to invent one myself. My plans became more and more ambitious and in my dreams the chair would be operated through magnets (being dragged by cars) - an idea I saw in a film- and could even fly. Luckly technology didn't wait for me and the chair got invented by other people (though obviously not as fancy as my plans). Now I see and understand my fancy chair is not such a blessing for people that are still perfectly capable of walking on their own two feet, though it's an invaluable asset for the not so lucky ones. #childhood #dreams #childhoodmemories

I discovered a lot of beautiful songs through 2pause. Every now and then though, we featured song that I loved even before seeing thei #musicvideo. Such a song was #TemperTrap's Love Lost. So it felt like a super treat having #DougalWilson's beautiful vid on our #website. Seeing it again on the big screen at #playgrounds2016 made me remember the 2pause happy times. And of course, made me miss it tremendously.

#worstnightmare: losing the recording of an entire #interview + took no #notes! Fortunatelly listening to #CamArcher did help as I could re-create the most of the talk from memory. #cannes #journalism #workshop #cinema #film #handwriting #lessonlearned #nisimasa #nisimazine

Ever since I saw Conair way back when, I became a huge fan of John Malkovich considering him my favorite actor alongside with Jeremy Irons. It was thus an incredible opportunity to see and hear him talking live, 1 meter away from me. “Star-struck” doesn’t even cover a tenth of how I felt. I had some clever questions prepared but could not get myself to actually ask them. An incredible #interview by College Tour and on my list of favorite all time memories.

#theleagueofextraordinarygentlemen compass. A gift from the back then moderator of #cinemagia - an online community that guided me on my path of becoming a #filmmaker. I had previously written the team to say #thankyou for being an inspiration. They were touched and gave me the compass and a cd with the #stuartlittle ost. I didn’t realize it then and neither did they, how appropiate the #gift actually was, given that Cinemagia turned out to be my compass for filmmaking. #cinema #film #bookstagram #lifeasametaphor

Reminder of that time in 2014 when I was in the judging panel of #KLIK! #Animation #festival for the #musicvideo category! #cork #robot

One of my favorite gifts from my #grandma. A lovely #scorpio #mug that got unfortunately broken by my older son. #signs #zodiac #whatsmysign

Notes of my first #interview. Had a telephone talk with #film #director David Verbeek and was so nervous, I initially could barely speak. The interview got published as a portrait during my #workshop for young journalists provided by Nisi Masa at Cannes Film Festival 2010.

Once upon a time the #holiday at grandparents' house couldn't start without climbing the highest hill in the garden. Once upon a time the ancient tree in the middle of the hill was holding all the wonders of the universe... #childhood #memories #treestagram #trees #spiderweb

Simona Amanar - 2000 Olympics EF - Vault 1

Simona Amanar - 2000 Olympics EF - Vault 1

I still remember being upset when ‪#‎Amanar‬ decided to debut her difficult vault at the 2000 ‪#‎olympics‬ and failed to complete it. I thought it was silly of her to waste the chance of a perfectly good medal, in order to have her name on a vault (that could have been introduced in other competitions as well). Now I know better and I can understand how awesome it would have been for her to win with her own thing. It gives me great pride to hear her name being mentioned so often and to see it's still considered a very difficult move even 16 years later. ‪ ‪#‎gymnastics‬
