Two young protagonists and everyday life. Being alone at home. Being alone in public, outdoors. Sometimes looking for a connection – only to retreat again soon afterwards. In their second feature film, BLUISH, Lilith Kraxner and Milena Czernovsky explore an intangible state of being in-between after a period of social isolation. While their sensory images trace the vague moods of their characters, the fluid boundaries at the edges of the frame initiate a multi-layered encounter with other media and art forms.

There are two Austrian world premieres on the festival schedules this week:
 
b l u i s h, second feature by Lilith Kraxner & Milena Czernovsky will show at the FID Marseille (June 25 to 30) as an International Competition entry.
 
GINA, also a second feature by Ulrike Kofler, is a contender at the Cinevision Competition at the Munich IFF (June 28 to July 7)
