Alternative TIFF 2010 Picks: #7. Isabelle Stever’s Blessed Events
TIFF have the world premiere here from a filmmaker who might not be as well known as some of the other German filmmaker counterparts (e.g. Fatih Akin, Tom Tykwer, Hans Weingartner) that were part of the Germany 09: 13 Short Films About the State of the Nation. I’m liking some of the ideas that are being explored in Stever’s sophomore film, the film’s trailer certainly has a quirky vibe to it.
