L.A. Tea Time<\/em>\u00a0is an unusual travelogue which is at times meditative and at times haunted, recounting the adventures of Sophie and Isabelle with humor and a soft touch of magic. <\/span>The writer and director, Sophie B\u00e9dard Marcotte, creates a biographical account of her quest for a meeting with the filmmaker Miranda July (Me and You and Everyone We Know<\/em> (2005), The Future<\/em> (2011)). The resulting piece is about the often grueling and thankless process of independent and low-budget film creation and a personal self-discovery that is modest yet beautiful. The films seems like a genuine homage to the genius Chantal Akerman who is oddly cast in the film as a divine creature that talks from heaven directly to Sophie. In a way, this documentary bears resemblances with the cinema of the Belgian director: the still camera portraying the daily life of the author, a nearly inexistent plot and a pilgrimage to find meaning in an empty modern world. The strongest aspect of the film is that it incorporates all these resemblances with a sophisticated and extraordinary sense of humor.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel S\u00e1nchez L\u00f3pez<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Sophie\u2019s intimistic approach allows plenty of room for detours and adventure, avoiding the standards of a more didactic and controlled cinema. She directed a first fiction entitled Winter Claire<\/em> in 2017, which was presented at Festival du Nouveau Cinema, the NYC Independent Film Festival and the Cineteca Nacional in Mexico. Her latest project, L.A. Tea Time<\/em>, premiered at Visions du Re\u0301el in the Spring of 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image media=”73096″ media_width_percent=”100″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading auto_text=”yes” heading_semantic=”h1″ text_size=”h1″ separator=”under” separator_color=”yes” sub_reduced=”yes” subheading=”Modern pilgrimage in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73094,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio_category":[390],"yoast_head":"\nAbout the Director<\/h3>\n
