Loveboard
- Director: Felipe Casanova
CGiii Comment
A broken relationship, a broken phone and the protagonist’s memories that become both personal memory and digital archive. Both fragmented, both reassembled to reveal glimpses of a vanished love.
Loveboard is not only the reconstruction of private moments that, transposed on the screen, become universal images, but above all it is a mise en abîme of the director’s creative process. The recurrent observation under the microscope of the internal memory of a telephone dismembered in all its parts is nothing more than the same action performed by the director with the memories of his relationship. Trying to fix a broken phone then means trying to save from oblivion real and digitized pieces of life, imagined things and moments become compromised images, glitchy videos, glimpses of love seen between pixels, that devour the image to the point of annihilating what was truly lived.
