synopsis

Lights, Haze is a poetic documentary that explores the ambivalence of memory through real locations on the outskirts of Tbilisi. The film uses light as a central symbolic element to express the complexity of these reflections. Created with a blend of 2D frame-by-frame animation, both digital and analogue, the film weaves through a cyanotype sequence, in which frames were printed using natural light, adding an experimental and dreamlike quality to the narrative. The film emphasises extreme subjectivity within the genre of animated documentary.
