Watch Me
Status: Completed
Going to a concert, dancing on technopop, hanging out on the beach, riding horses. But also: is there a place in my life for a relationship, how do people look at me, what is normal? Everyday business, including for Jessica, Mathias, Dominique, Nadine, Quan, Sam and Sofie. But there is one difference: these are people with a disability, mentally and often also physically. The difference is big, but at the same time it’s not, according to filmmaker Klara Van Es, who previously directed Lost Down Memory Lane (2010) and Carnotstraat 17 (2015).
“Moving documentary that manages to ask meaningful questions without explicit commentary.”
– De Volkskrant
“Enchantingly beautiful, tranquil documentary.”
– Cinemagazine
“Klara Van Es maakt films die omzwachteld kijken (…) We don’t stare, we really watch them.”
– Filmmagie
