In this magic realist meditation on memory and beauty, a young man discovers that his heart is a camera, capable of capturing the vitality of the world around him.
REVIEW
Director-writer-editor Gabriel Judet-Weinshel offers plenty of sensual eye candy in this experimental short, which chronicles the youthful romance between Theo (Jamie Harding, who played a terrorist in United 93) and Natasha (Zulay Henao), with an inevitable tragedy (cue the mad bomber) in the offing. The movie's title doesn't stray from the movie's theme, as Theo opens and closes his heart-as-camera depending on the emotional situation at hand, as he processes his own uniquely surreal images. George Nicholas' ravishing color photography and lilting musical contributions from the Ahn Trio are strong assets that help define Judet-Weinshel's artistic vision, which turns out to be a way station between magic and memory .
