80000 Thoughts

2014 · 80 min

A poetic, introspective collage that drifts through memory and identity, asking for patience and openness as it blends dance, music, and confession.

Tagline: - a film about identity and searching for meaning in life
Overview: 80,000 Thoughts is a poetic autobiographical and fictional film about testing oneself and one's possibilities—sexually, gender-wise, and bodily—conveyed through dance, music, poetry, and images. It is also a personal story about the narrator's traumas and memories, her love affair and one-time crush, God, drugs, missing her mother, and violence and abuse. Director Michele Mwikali Lauritsen deftly employs crackling prose to position her film in the impossible—and refreshing—position between the gallery-smart contemporary art of the time and a more accessible and popular format.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, dark and whimsical. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Identity, trauma, memory, sexuality
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
