THE POSTER IDEA“A Melted Dark Memory”
The filming of the documentary offers the slow melting of a dark family secret. The design process for the poster observed the melting of ice cubes, tracing the shape forming from their melting.
The stained water simbolises the darkness reliefed by the storytelling, offering a framing from which the audience can peak at Rozana, the central character.
A partial picture, an interpreted truth. As the footage rolls, details unfold, so that the full story can truly be told.
