Northern Stars 2009 / Director: Lisa Siwe
Glowing Stars
NB! Screening cancelled. Replacing film: Fish Tank. L&A apologizes for the inconvenience.
”Glowing Stars” is reminiscent in its realistic feel and style of Mike Leigh’s work, an influence that first-time director Siwe is proud to cite. ”I love Mike Leigh’s films, in particular ”Secrets and Lies”,” she said. ”[His] films are tender, humble, very human films, and this is what I wanted to capture with ”Glowing Stars”. I tried to make it both funny and sad, because life is like that. I wanted people to be able to recognize themselves in the characters, so I shot the film with a small camera to be as close as possible to the characters.”
