Q&A with Lilith Kraxner and Milena Czernovsky on Sept. 28 & 30
A film of deep tranquility permeated by roiling sensations of desire and uncertainty, the latest reverie from Austrian directors Lilith Kraxner and Milena Czernovsky (Beatrix, Art of the Real 2022) transmits the tense unfolding of young adulthood by following two women as they move through their day, a physical part of their urban environment yet set apart in emotional isolation. The two students seem different on the surface: the introverted Errol gazes at the world in meditative solitude, while Sasha, a Russian émigré, seems keen on meeting people and networking within her artistic circles. Yet through Kraxner and Czernovsky’s marvelously oblique approach to character and storytelling, they both come to represent the beautiful fragility of human connection. Winner of the International Grand Prix at this year’s FIDMarseille International Film Festival.
