Can't Wait For You To Come

In an ordinary emotional relationship, memory is that dead void from the past which can cause us troubles. On the contrary, in unconditional love, the void of memory keeps us in touch with our loved ones. The absence of memory fills the void with sounds and images stored in time and space. A message from the past is the time on the answering machine that still goes by. A photograph is a seemingly motionless time, but which is now able to slide backwards. And make a film. And in this film, love is the one that can hardly wait for you. Love is the one you promised you would come back.
Primož Čučnik

What is the difference between a family film, even so difficult, and an artistic expression, even so difficult? The difference is that the former remains in the family album forever, and the latter goes down in the history of artistic interventions in time. The film by Tomaž Grom “Can't Wait for You to Come” is an artistic expression. Not only because he expresses himself with this film as a proven music creator, but because, when faced with the challenge of confronting a heavy loss, he is in fact radically faced with the medium he uses to express himself. How come picture and sound don’t go together? Why is a mute tape the most eloquent sometimes? How can I evoke not only a memory but also the future by screening a past image? These are all the questions that the film gives answers to in an extremely intimate way. See you.
