AIDE MÉMOIRE - ein schwules Gedächtnisprotokoll

Aide memoire

Directed by Michael Brynntrup

Two years before his death, the HIV-positive Baldiga reviews his life, in selected episodes.

Synopsis

Photographer Jürgen Baldiga (1959-1993) and filmmaker Michael Brynntrup engage in a private discourse and personal investigation into the handling of images of life and death. "AIDE MÉMOIRE recalls a deceased friend in a radically personal way. The intimate, tender gaze of the filmmaker causes a closeness also of the spectators on AIDS disease, death and transience." (Jury statement - International Short Film Festival Oberhausen)
