“Cainné Angste – One Second Of Sehnsucht” by Moritz Uthe & Oscar Pecher

All that wasn’t meant to be matters just the same.

"Cainné Angste" is is a creative word play in faux French, which translates best to “Keine Angst“ or “Don’t you fear“ in English.

“One Second Of Sehnsucht“ deals with our creative protagonist’s future, that actually didn’t happen. Starting in the mid-nineties, Dian continuously dreamt about a life in New York City. But, all that wasn’t meant to be. To this day, he never lived or worked outside of Austria, and has never visited New York City …

Surrounded by the confrontation with his younger self(s), the film visualizes Dian’s longing for long gone dreams and distant influences along the path of life. The voice recites his way of finding peace in acceptance of life as an ongoing process. Sometimes the things that never happen have just as big of an influence...

FROM THE DIRECTORS

"This project really came together in a matter of days and right from the beginning we made the decision to go with 35mm. We wanted this film to feel real and authentic. It is crucial to feel all the little imperfections and happy accidents not only needed to be a part but to carry the film’s metaphors. This humane and honest feeling can only be captured on celluloid. We limited ourselves to only use a maximum of 3 rolls. So we really picked our shots carefully.“
