Lucy Kerr: Capturing Time and Emotion in ”Family Portrait”

Locarno Meets - A podcast by Locarno Film Festival

Categories:

Delve into the world of Lucy Kerr, an American filmmaker and artist based in New York, who was named one of the '25 New Faces of Independent Film' by Filmmaker Magazine in 2022! Her debut feature, "Family Portrait", which premiered at the 76th Locarno Film Festival, is set during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic and offers a compelling exploration of family bonds and the enigmatic nature of time and space. Inspired by her own family experiences, the film transcends traditional storytelling, gradually transforming a seemingly ordinary family photo session into a ritual of transition. "Family Portrait" has earned Kerr recognition, including the feature film grant from the Austin Film Society, the AirFrance Prize from FIDLab, and the New Horizons Award from US in Progress.
