Chill(s): Caroline Poggi & Jonathan Vinel on their short film ‘The Exploding Girl’
Synopsis:
The Exploded Girl, a 30-year-old woman literally blows up , sometimes seven times a day. A surreal, intimate, and deeply political short film by Caroline Poggi & Jonathan Vinel, selected at Annecy Festival in the Official Competition. In the first episode of Chill(s) — our new series dedicated to genre films — the duo reflects on loneliness, virtual worlds, and the structural violence that seeps into everyday life. Written during lockdown, the film grew in resonance with the latest traumatising news and images from Gaza, and asks what happens when that violence becomes internal. Premiered at Locarno Festival and chosen as the European Film Awards candidate for Best Short Film.

If patience is a virtue, animation filmmakers are particularly worthy of our admiration. Follow two seasoned practitioners as they guide us through the arresting world of stopmotion animation. A cherished collaborator of Wes Anderson, Jay Clarke ("Isle of Dogs") awakens us to the power of storyboarding, namely to enable a film crew to see a story before they shoot it. A creator of fable-like creatures, Swedish director Niki Lindroth von Bahr ("Something to Remember", Generation 2020) highlights hidden aspects of this timeconsuming yet tender filmmaking technique by sharing excerpts from works in progress and placing her singing snails and other puppets centre stage. Moderated by Andrew Amondson.
