Event Details
A story of mystery and redemption. Rocks in my Pockets is based on true events involving five women of animator Signe Baumane’s family, including herself, and their battles with depression and suicide. It raises questions of how much family genetics determine who we are and if it is possible to outsmart one’s own DNA. The film is packed with visual metaphors, surreal images, and a twisted sense of humor. It is an animated tale full of art, women, strange daring stories, Latvian accents, history, nature, adventure, and more.
MEET THE FILMMAKER!
As an extra special treat director Signe Baumane will be in attendance for the film, presentation, and Q&A.
The film will also be preceded by a presentation from Martin Klapheke MD, Assistant Dean of Medical Education and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, who will discuss the role of genetics, life experiences, and epigenetics in mental health, and the myths and stigma of illness.
