With the start of the Cannes Film Festival up again , here is a throwback to some of the magic of the Cannes glambot. I’m grateful to have two German language films that I have directed featured in the upcoming issue of @germanfilms Quarterly Magazine available at the German Pavilion during the Cannes Film Festival. Help us finish our films!
How do you grieve someone who hurt you?
How do you love people who never protected you?
And who are you, when the story you grew up with isn’t true?
This is what we explore in The Weight of Staying. A dive into forgiveness and guilt.
We’re proud to have our film featured in the upcoming issue of @germanfilms Quarterly Magazine. You might find your copy at the German Pavilion during the Cannes Film Festival.
We can’t share too much yet but here some moods from the shoot for you.
