Mia Hansen-Løve & Charlotte Wells on One Fine Morning and Aftersun | NYFF60

This talk brings together the directors behind two stunning works of autofiction in the NYFF60 lineup. One Fine Morning by leading French filmmaker (and NYFF staple) Mia Hansen-Løve and Aftersun, the debut feature by Charlotte Wells, both center on father-daughter relationships drawn from the directors’ own lives, exploring tenderness and trauma, love and loss with formal ingenuity and emotional force. Both films also feature powerhouse performances-Paul Mescal in Aftersun and Léa Seydoux in One Fine Morning-that challenge and reinvigorate routine cinematic portrayals of femininity, masculinity, and intimacy. Charlotte Wells's Aftersun is now playing in our theaters:
Hansen-Løve and Wells partake in an extended conversation about the process of making art out of one’s life, giving filmic shape to the workings of memory and time, reimagining the contours of “women’s cinema,” and more.
NYFF Talks are presented by HBO.

it's so hard to talk about a visual art form such as film with this level of detail and care - respect to the filmmakers.

I love interpreters, they are badass.

I haven't seen either movie, but I like the idea of having two directors that seem to cover similar territories s directors. Hansen-Løve has made eight feature films while this is Wells' first feature film. I think they (in particular, Wells) ends up revealing more about her film than she originally intended, mostly because of how frank Hansen-Løve is. It's interesting to contrast these kinds of movies with, say, Jordan Peele who is more influenced by someone like a Spielberg and is interested in racial issues, and while those topics resonate with Peele, I wonder if he can make such a personal, introspective film or would want to. It's interesting to see what directors focus on with some looking to make movies that purely entertain, and others that are more relationship based.
