ENGLISH SYNOPSIS :

‘The public diagnosis’ captures the moment amy stephenson's son lachie was diagnosed with brain cancer. Rejecting realism in favour of emotional truth, the edit emphasises the fragmented, dream-like quality of memory; A feeling of recalling details from the past guides the journey of the film, foregrounding the small, often overlooked aspects of life. The edit unfolds from left to right through 5 custom-built sets, utilising elegant, well conceived cuts to create a sense of effortless fluidity. Blasts of flashing light are employed throughout the ‘memory vignettes’ to imitate the flash of a camera, and gesture to the idea of ‘mental images’ being taken.
