strand.

An experimental reflection on the changeable and complex nature of memory through the lens of neurodivergence.

The latest project from filmmaker Andrew Kötting sees his daughter Eden, dressed as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, accompanied by three workers who together explore the process of manufacturing memory.

Visually unique and playful, Kötting moves with Eden’s perception of the world, exploring her extraordinary mental experience through his singular mode of cinema.
