Russian premiere
“She opened the door, crossed the threshold. She approached, timidly, surrendered to this strange language, still unaware she had an appointment with eternity.”
Claire Panaget
About the director:
Anaïs Ibert
“I was born in Basse Normandie in France in 1986. In 2005 I had my High school diploma – Film Study to the Experimental College and High school of Hérouville-Saint-Claire. I currently live and work in Paris. In 2008 I co-directed ibü, with Victor De la Heras, a traditional object animation short film. In 2015 I directed Malagueña, shot on 16mm and super 8. This movie is an exploration into fiction; through it, I try to create a new cinematic language freed from traditional narrative rules, like a collage. In 2024, I directed Ostatenham, my first film produced by a production company. I experimented with a more traditional form of storytelling. Likewise I make collages from few years cutting and gluing newspaper on wood support. I am also member of artist-run film laboratory l’Abominable / Navire Argo from 2014.” Malagueña competed in the In Silico programme of the 26th Message to Man IFF, while Ostatenham was featured in the Multiverse section of the Festival’s 34th edition.
