***** Excellent and handled beautifully and so sensitively. So interesting to consider who some are remembered with so much affection. Plenty have charisma or energy but seems like he was a true benefactor too and, which is rarer still, brilliantly practical. Your orchestration of images and unweaving of the narrative - top notch! I love the shots of the old school house, after mention of the party, to the faint music; made fainter by the passing years.

@Caspar33 Thanks for such a generous comment. I worked really hard on this film since I thought it a story so worth telling, glad it paid off!

Very interesting...Proust said of course...i In Search of Time Lost...that we...and places, only exist  as long as they exist in the memory...once the memory is gone...they are gone..This reminds me of this...

@Poemsapennyeach Thomas Hardy said something similar, that we die twice. The first time physically then the second time when the last person to remember us dies, hopefully Janko's memory is secured for quite a while yet.

@Amiduffer I agree, and we are thankful to Janko everytime we go for water.

It's good to remember useful things people do. There's too much harping on the negative.
