“Through the Storm” By Florine & Kim Nüesch
Three people. Each isolated to a wooden box. A raging storm of bad news. Is there a light at the end of this tunnel?
Directors Statement
2020 began for us - like for many people - with a lockdown, during which we only left our apartment to go grocery shopping. Weeks of Black Lives Matter protests followed, in which we part took, and we listened to news about biblical locus plagues in Africa, the explosion in Beirut, and other terrifying news all over the planet. We felt more and more like the world was going insaner by the second. Maybe it wasn’t even that the world (outside of the pandemic) was a worse place than usual, but since normal life was suspended, we all paid attention to everything that was going on and it felt like we were drowning in bad news. That feeling of isolation and powerlessness was what inspired the film.
