Life May Be

Përshkrimi

Life May Be është një film digjital që do të mund të krijohej në shekullin XVIII. Sikurse romani i letrave të Samuel Richardsonit i titulluar ‘Pamela’, është një shkëmbim letrash ndërmjet Mania Akbari dhe Mark Cousins. Temat e tyre janë të shumta, si filmbërja, mërgimi, Irani, Holokausti dhe trupi i njeriut. Forma e filmit nis me minimalizëm ekstrem, por pastaj hapet dhe formëson ndërrimet. Shohim zhvillim të ideve, por edhe të stilit gjithashtu përderisa secili filmbërës ngjitet në supet e tjetrit.
