ONLINE AM SONNTAG 9.5 & MONTAG 10.5.
NUR IN ÖSTERREICH VERFÜGBAR
Österreichpremiere
AMOR FATI sucht nach sich ergänzenden Teilen: nach Paaren, Freund*innen, Familien und Tieren mit ihren Besitzer*innen. Sie teilen sich die Intimität des Alltags, Gewohnheiten, Überzeugungen, Geschmäcker und sogar einige äußere Merkmale. Ihre Gesichter und Gesten enthüllen die Geschichten, die sie verbinden.
Ein Film voller Zuneigung, der eine einzigartige Vision der Liebe aus Aristophanes‘ Rede auf Platons Symposion heraufbeschwört: „Ist es das etwa, was ihr wünscht, möglichst an demselben Ort miteinander zu sein und euch Tag und Nacht nicht voneinander zu trennen? Denn wenn es euch hiernach verlangt, so will ich euch in eins verschmelzen und zusammenschweißen, so dass ihr aus zweien einer werdet…“.

Ama-san, a portrait of japanese divers, was her feature debut, receiving dozens of awards around the world, followed by In The Darkness of the Theater I Take Off My Shoes, a film that shows the intimacy between a group of dancers within a dance company. Amor Fati is her latest film scheduled to premiere in 2020 and in Wolf and Dog, in development, she will return to fiction.
