Pathei Mathos

From the screen to the audience, Pathei Mathos explores the intersections of pain and trauma as linked in one woman’s memories. This story is a testament to the multi-sensorial experience that trauma, of any kind, is. It focuses on relating such universal feeling from the screen to the audience, challenging the boundaries of cinema as a vehicle for a shared experience. Pain, after all, is the most universal of feelings.
