returns to international doc film fest Visions du Réel with an unusual proposition for this 54th edition: an epic seven-part series, featured both in competition and in the Work-in-Progress section.
Parts 1 and 6, featuring his parents, were screened together in a world premiere on April 24 as part of the fest’s International Competition, with the aim of demonstrating the narrative and sensibility of the entire project. “We need distributors to make movie theaters shine with special events,” said Seitler. “Museum curators are welcome as the series could also be adaptable as an installation in an interesting space.”
Asked about the title at a Q&A following the screening, the director admitted that he hadn’t set out to make this film, but rather wanted to explore the expression “the grass is always greener on the other side”: how it related to his parents, who left Switzerland for Canada as young adults, and “how it seems our perpetual desire of other is actually an essential part of evolution itself,” he said.
Mettler explained how lockdown led him, like many others, to rummage through his cellar, where he discovered footage of an old interview with the Dalai Lama, which also features in the series, underlying musings on the cycle of life and reincarnation.
