Alone Once
"When lockdown ends, there will be two types of people remaining: those who were touched and those who were not." Part-poem, part-film, Alone Once is a micro-short shot in lockdown in the UK, using a camera phone. It explores the absence of touch and isolation in the Age of Coronavirus.
Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time
Hungary’s entry for Best International Feature Film at this year’s Oscars, Lily Horvat’s striking and unique story has received wide critical acclaim, as has Natasa Stork’s beguiling lead performance. The noirish melodrama centres on a surgeon who encounters her soulmate at a medical conference. But when she confronts him weeks later after being stood up, he’s adamant that he has never met her.
