“Dear Yeda” is a short experimental animation that flows like a moving poem of memories in honor of my grandmother. By using 2D hand-drawn animation and digital collage, the film explores fragments of places and objects that belonged to her, such as a porcelain teacup and a wooden sculpture of a deer. It moves from one image to another like a stream of memories as it embraces the feeling of recalling a loved one by the smallest of things. Through Portuguese narration (with English subtitles), the film touches upon my grandma’s passing and the memory loss associated with it.
