Isolations
dir Talia Shea Levin
USA
An outlet for chaos and the enduring need to connect created as lockdown took effect in Los Angeles.
words from the filmmaker
It is a strange time for art-making. Crisis reveals just what is essential. This project was born out of a need to reinvent community from a safe distance, to anchor in collective experience on the shores of a changing world. And it is not enough. There is so much work still to be done to hold each other through the chaos, to continue building together toward a new normal. We set out to ease the enormity of this transition for ourselves, for anyone who watches with us, through a shared dance: a glimpse of joy, the gasp of release found in moving alone together.
why we love this film
Talia's cinematic language in this film is so subtle yet so powerful, slowly zooming in on a community in isolation, uniting through movement.
