Personal Growth is a new Super-8 film work by Vicky Langan and Maximilian Le Cain. It is an enigmatic, fragmented piece that could have been filmed at any point in the past 60 years. It conveys the haunting charge of a privately made home movie – of great significance to its creators but unsettlingly mysterious to viewers. Its grainy, black and white texture vividly renders the elemental coastal seascapes where it was filmed.
Over the course of their decade-long filmmaking collaboration, Langan and Le Cain have created an intimate, distinctive universe built on a striking match
between Langan’s magnetic, often troubling and intense presence as a performer and Le Cain’s hypnotically disruptive visual rhythms.
Festival Friends’ Moving Image Event: travel with us in a dedicated carriage from Kent Station Cork to Cobh and enjoy a glass of bubbles! Check corkfilmfest.org for details. Supported by Iarnród Éireann/Irish Rail.
