SYNOPSIS
In Passing (2026) is an experimental visual poetry anthology that explores the evolving perception of time across the human lifespan. Structured around a simplified division of four key stages of life - Childhood, Adolescence, Adult, and Old Age - the film combines montage, soundscapes, and poetry to capture life's fleeting moments, repetitive routines, and formative memories. Each section presents a distinct sensory and emotional perspective, reflecting how time is experienced differently as we age.
​Through the emphasis on atmosphere, rhythm, and associative imagery, In Passing moves away from conventional narrative, encouraging a more reflective and introspective mode of engagement. The film considers how memories overlap and fragment, contributing to the sensation that time accelerates as we age. In doing so, it highlights the uncertainty of change, where personal identity and external circumstances are in constant flux.
