Once upon a time…

“‘Eeh, sit down, sit down!’ My father would declare after two hours of rapt attention to the silver screen, our mind already flickering towards the next pursuit – food, sleep, or perhaps both. ‘What did you learn from this movie?’ And there it was – the cue. We knew the drill. The next hour would be dedicated to my father’s unique brand of cinematic analysis, where profound life lessons were extracted from every frame, regardless of genre. Years later, we found ourselves unconsciously mirroring his approach, drawing meaning from every film we encountered. This, in essence, became the foundation of A&O – a testament to the enduring influence of my father’s unconventional film school.”
