CROSSWINDS

A woman looks around in her dream. 

Deserted landscapes and invisible things are left. 

The wind carries her memories.

“A film with a beautiful choreography between the camera and the figures, in a desolate grainy landscape, with an even grainier analogue cinematography. The chiaroscuro effect between light and shadow, the mirroring of movements and the interplay of distance and proximity have ensured that the No Film School Award goes to Crosswinds.”
