Synopsis

Edge of Life

We all know our lives will end and yet act as if death is a mirage. A pair of palliative care specialists allow renowned Emmy Award-winning artist Lynette Wallworth an opportunity to explore death with calmness, and even joy, through their use of psychedelics in a world-first trial for palliative care patients.

On the Impossibility of an Homage

Given a portrait, who is responsible for the image we see, the painter or the subject? Ion used to be a a rockstar of Ballet in Communist Romania. When we first discussed the possibility of a portrait, Ion was initially thrilled. He’d been dreaming that someday there’d be a film about him. But during the filmmaking process Ion finds it hard to let go.
