casting portraits
I came across stills of Eija-Liisa Ahtilas films in the Art now vol 2 book and I found the look of the stills to be quite interesting as they seem quite raw and they demand your attention which is something I haven’t really experienced with film work before myself. She discribes her films as ‘human dramas’ as they deal with borderline situations, and discribe phass in the transition and self-discovery of their protagonists.
