Description

'The Girl behind the White Picket Fence' (60m, Germany) dir. by Stefanie Schneider. An artists world of movie stills ‚The Girl Behind the White Picket Fence' is a succession of Polaroid film stills. One after another, this film takes this to the limit and still delivers. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, flowing with the rhythm of the music or in the energy the film portrays. Gaps keep the viewer paying close attention. But this is no Instagram lark, this is real analog Polaroid film. This is a one off, a complete window into an artists mind as she sees the world. Sunny, hot, in love, open spaces evoking freedom but also banishment. This film started out with a vision of grand collectiveness with all participants coming from Schneider's time in Hollywood ranging from directors to actors, producers to agents and writers to weirdos. The American dream was alive and well in this motley group who fell in love with Schneider's idea to capture a story about love on Polaroid film. The center of this story is the 'Lonely Hearts Radio Station' DJ, who talks to the searching broken hearted in the Southern Californian desert. A sad young girl calls in to better understand what is going on which results in an unexpected chain of events. Main characters: Hans, the mystic played by the veteran actor Udo Kier. Heather's a young girl who's lost her parents played by Heather Megan Christie. Lonely Hearts Radio Station's DJ played by the comic Steve Marshall. Hank is the local garbage man played by Kyle Larson. project website: www.heatherdreams.com artist website: www.instantdreams.net facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stefanie-Schneider/202297336484718?ref=hl credits: Script: Tanja Trittmann, Stefanie Schneider, Robert Mack Cast: Heather Megan Christie, Udo Kier, Kyle Larson, Steve Marshall, Jeff Leaf, Camille Waldorf Music: Sophie Huber, Cheyenne Randall, Billy Harvey, Zoë Bîcat, Max Sharam Haus by Sophie Huber, Daisy McCrackin, Axel Ruhland, Adam Weiss Executive Producers: Caroline Haertel & Mirjana Momirović, Co-produced by ARTE, Comissioning Editor: Barbara Häbe, A Production by micafilm, Supported by Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg
