“A fascinating exploration of cinematic language and the myriad of ways the camera can literally inhabit a narrative. ”- Savina Petkova, Little White Lies
“A wildly imaginative, almost disorientingly complex and unapologetically sincere film—is a testament to the collective energy necessary for all creation.” - Chris Cassignham, Journey Into Cinema
Saturday, August 17, 5:30 p.m. | Nearly 15 years later, Vita (Odessa Young), recounts making her first feature—a semi-autobiographical film about a young woman who gets pregnant and decides to leave home.

As her “first film” falls apart, director Zia Anger stages a lyrical auto-critique that probes the nature of artistic truth and personal mythmaking. (Memory Studio)
