The d-word in the title refers to might not be the first one to come in mind when reading the abbreviation, but perhaps one much more controversial. The director interviews a friend and follows his personal story about Depression, deepening its impact at a young age, and the taboo surrounding it in the 21st century. Along with the detached but impactful interview about a state of depression which almost led the director’s friend to suicide, a series of black and white archive films with animals are shown, which, just as stated in the beginning, “look like humans but not quite”. (Călin Boto, BIEFF 2018)

Curatorial comment:
A slow interview in which two friendly voices depict the meanings and faces of depression based on the personal experience of one of them is shaped by an ingeniously edited, almost orchestrated series of footage with animals exhibiting diverse reactions. The visual images provide the audio part with an organic cover, combining the rhythm of the given information with an alert, almost anxious rhythm of the animals. Teona Galgoțiu’s aim seems to be to offer a specificity to a term which is common but vague: depression. (Călin Boto, BIEFF 2018)
