REVIEWS

 We have decided to award an Honorable Mention to the film, Red Line, as it is a visually stunning work, which explores trauma through an intimate and compelling approach. The film draws us into the urgency of the experience, creating a powerful and effective atmosphere through intense physicality and driving, pulsating music. Although the film navigates a challenging time, the ultimate feeling is one of hope, through this carefully crafted portrayal of a woman finding her way forward and transcending her Red Line."​ - Dessago Film Festival

This director has such a clear vision of what story and how a story is being told, but also of the function of sound design, of the story a body uses, of edit and how to bring out the best in a performer." - Gabri Christa
