'Dry Leaf' Director Interview on Old Phone, Pet Shop Boys Film

Georgian writer-director Alexandre Koberidze ( What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? ) shot his latest feature film, Dry Leaf , on an old Sony Ericsson phone, with his father, David, as the star, and music and sound courtesy of Alexandre’s brother Giorgi.

The movie follows Irakli, “a father searching for his daughter Lisa, a sports photographer who vanishes while documenting soccer stadiums in rural Georgia,” explains a synopsis. “True to Koberidze’s ( What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? ) style, this is less a thriller than it is a contemplative pilgrimage, each scene illuminated by poetic encounters.”
