The Intimacy of Strangers

Full Frame President’s Award 2006

NEW DOCS

Cell phone conversations have the ability to collapse the distinctions between public and private space. In these conversations, intimate moments are performed for strangers in public spaces. Director Eva Weber captures these moments, recording cell phone conversations in the public sphere. Masterfully edited by Emilio Battista, the film weaves these seemingly unrelated conversations into a cohesive documentary narrative. The Intimacy of Strangers is a love story of the modern age, transmitted for all to hear.  SK
