SMHAFF Rocks in My Pockets

‘In this crazy world, how do you stay sane?’ Latvian director Signe Baumane’s surreal animated feature traces the lives of five women in her family as they embark on a quest for sanity. Raising questions about how far our mental wellbeing and individual identities are shaped by genetics and society, Baumane merges strange metaphors, provocative imagery and personal stories into a rich and daring cinematic vision.

Followed by a post-screening discussion with director Signe Baumane via Skype and Theresa Moerman Ib, moderated by Rob Dickie.
