Forever - Work in Progress
Chronicling the story of two strangers in the city through the powers of observation and the merits of a fixed camera angle, Margarita Manda delivers a melancholy ode to silence and the passage of time.
Costas is a driver at the overground railroad. Anna takes the train to work every day. He's silently in love with her and she doesn't even know it, until an unforeseen event offers Costas the excuse he needs to finally approach her. That's how two lonely people will meet in a deserted Athens, at the dawn of a brand new day.
Chronicling the story of two strangers in the city through the powers of observation and the merits of a fixed camera angle, Margarita Manda delivers a melancholy ode to silence and the passage of time. Going back to the fundamental structural elements of filmmaking, Manda's personal journey is dominated by the same force that traversed early cinema: the train!
But the Lumiere brothers aren't her only influence. "Forever" is an homage to every filmmaker she considers a teacher, from Dreyer and Bresson to Antonioni, Wenders and Angelopoulos.
