Experiencing Interruptions?

film d'auteur

Imagine a film where you only see the eyes of two characters.. looking back at you from the big screen.. lean back as the story unfolds and experience something, you´ve never seen before..

"A young actress dreams of getting the chance to prove herself on the big screen. Hit by rejection after rejection she finally gives up, only to put her fate into her own hands, when the director of her latest casting gets in her Taxi .."

"film d´auteur" thematizes the struggle of young actresses in a male dominated film business and sees the chance of change in cinema itself. Different narrative layers invite the viewer into a world of hopes and dreams as you only see the eyes of the two characters for almost the entire runtime..

Director Statement

As a part of HEAR US MOVE (www.hearusmove.com) I strive to make films from a progressive point of view that puts themes of societal changes into strong character driven narratives.

In the case of "film d'auteur" I tried to thematise both women in the film business and the value of cinema itself, while experimenting with different narrative layers in order to create something unique and unusual as well as visually surprising.

Lean back and engage with the magic of eyes in a world of hope and dreams.
