Dreamed Paths: The Films of Angela Schanelec

Introduction by Angela Schanelec on February 7
In her debut feature, Angela Schanelec paints a love triangle as only she can—with startling clarity of vision, formal precision, and a peerless sense of the moral and metaphysical dimensions of everyday life. Freelance photographer Christian (Wolfgang Michael) finds himself in love with two women: Ariane (Anna Bolk) and her half-sister Isabel (played by the director), each of them embodying a distinct future. Schanelec takes great care to ground Christian’s trial of the heart in the melancholy and uncertainty of social reality, shot through with doubt and pain, joy and tenderness.
