Bleeding Memories 2026

The Seven Minutes of Life

Directed by Maddalena Cagol

At its heart, Bleeding Memories is a story about sisterhood — about how, no matter the hand you are dealt in life, it is the people around you who shape what that life becomes. The film weaves together two contrasting narratives: one exploring grief and loss through cancer, and the other capturing youth, resilience, and sisterhood within a neglected household. Inspired by the idea of “the seven minutes of life,” we aim to create a moving and visually compelling story that reflects on memory, love, and what truly stays with us.
