SENDING TO THE SEA | 2019
ABOUT THE FILM
Sending to the Sea follows a young Italian woman looking back on a past romance with a sailor as memories of love and loss intertwine with the present. At the heart of the film is the sea, which connects the two characters and carries the memories of their relationship. Through visual symbolism and poetic imagery, the film explores how losing someone can change the meaning of something once loved, and how, with time, it can be reclaimed. Ultimately, it is a story about letting go, finding peace with the past and moving forward with hope.
Sending to the Sea was Iris's first short film, made while studying Film and Drama at the University of Kent and through her involvement with Kent Television. Featuring an Italian voiceover, it was KTV's first foreign-language film. It premiered at the KTV Film Festival, was Highly Commended at the KIC Awards and was later selected for the Cinevoyage Film Festival.
