Experimental Film | Duration: 00:20:44
Dir. Benjamin Filinson – United States
In Attendance via Zoom for a Post Premiere Q&A
Language: French, Russian with English Subtitles

*Nominated For Best Experimental Film

Synopsis: The Mechanics of Intimacy is the third installment in a series of Experimental films exploring the process of realizing emotional responsibility. Through conscious integration of uncomfortable childhood imprinting, the causal point of human suffering is brought to light, revealing the pathway out of our self imposed prison. The Mechanics of Intimacy examines the consequence of a dissonant relationship between the masculine and feminine energies that exist within us all. This project is an expression of how the absence of awareness to one’s emotional state, our being within, leads to searching for partners to “complete” us.
