THE EXILE

dir. Piotr and Agata Bartos, produced by Manifiesta Film (2014)

A short fiction film telling the story of the Exile — a man who works in order to eat, eats in order to work, and in the brief pauses between one and the other gazes at the moon. It is a minimalist portrait of a protagonist suspended between routine and longing, between everyday life and the desire for something that remains just out of reach.

Shortcutz Amsterdam Award (2015).
