HOLDING STILL

Germany 2010 26’

Directed by: Florian Riegel

This is the story of Janis Sawyer, a woman whose life has been marked by suffering and indescribable tragedy. Yet Janis, in her sweet, serene voice, tells the secret of her life. Seaside has never seen Janis’s face; rather than go outside, she prefers using a surveillance camera connected to her computer because “If you hold still long enough, and observe a little bit, everything comes to you.”
