Synopsis

What can an old apple tree tell us? What mysteries are hidden in its roots, gnarled over time? Does it remember the serpent and the lost Paradise? The human body remembers more than we can expect and imagine. It remembers the sorrow and pain of our predecessors. It keeps alive the stories of our parents and grandparents as well as their ancestors. But how far back is it possible to go in bodily memory? The stop-motion animation *Body Memory* takes as its central concept the idea that our body remembers, not only individual experiences, but also the sorrow and pain of our predecessors. It is a powerful visualization of subconscious processes and the hidden horror of deportation. It is inspired by historical events: the Soviet deportations from Estonia in the 1940s.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
