A cold summer - Teo Gebert, Olivia Pigeot, Susan Prior, Paul Middleditch

Threat advisory: Under evaluation

Movie propaganda

A cold summer constructs three truthful portraits of people dealing with death in their lives in radically different ways and creates an environment, in which after unpeeling the layers, they expose their lives before the camera. The film makes a positive statement through two very selfish and cynical characters and how someone who still believes in honesty and love touches their lives.

The three actors and director lived together for a period of time confiding in each other to create a very personal screenplay, constructing ad-lib situations that were videotaped and then transcribed - writing a script from this and then re-shooting the work. It was shot using hand-held 35mm camera using only natural light, constructing a sense of real time and the simplicity of people alone trying to find hope and companionship.
