In attesa di una tempesta solare

Evi Cats, Belgium, 2023, 24’

A lost woman wanders through Brussels. She is looking for a familiar face, but only encounters streets that no longer exist and strangers she will never get to know. When a mysterious man tells her about a forecasted solar storm, the strange day falls ominously into place. 

“Each person is the sum of missed phone calls, city walks, and stories about buildings from a past life. Evi Cats shows us a lot and at the same time very little, and we understand that it all connects, albeit in different ways for each of us. For in everyone rages a different storm, and in every pair of eyes the Northern Lights have a different colour. It is the great metropolis that reserves a place for each of us, and which therefore rightly claims the leading role in all its textures and forms in Cats’ film,” writes Kathy Vanhout.

This film is part of the short film programme “Between Storm and Soil”, curated by filmmaker Alex Schuurbiers, and preceded by a dinner.
