Toes in the water, sunlit eyes, a cap’s imprint on the brow. The title says it all: experience is gained, a summer develops, teens are portrayed. Deconstruction as documentary invention.
FAITH
Dir.: Valentina Pedicini, DOP: Bastian Esser, IT 2019, 94 min., Italian OwEs – German Premiere
A film about the temptations of art to find light in darkness. And a study in believing and realisation. “Here everything spoke of renunciation, but for whom, to what mysterious end?” (Dino Buzzati)
After the screening
Debate: COLLAPSING DISTANCE
Should you keep at a distance from the action like a fly on the wall, or integrate yourself into the story? A debate about documentary attitudes, surprising intimacy, and how worlds are first created cinematically from encountered material.
Guests: Helena Wittmann, Valentina Pedicini, Mathieu Landais (S.C.R.I.B.E.), Karim Aïnouz
Moderated by Dennis Vetter
Re-Run: Sunday, 1st March 2020 – 10 am
