Day Night Day Night Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007] Director: Julia Loktev, Country: USA, Release: 2006, Runtime: 94 A 19-year old girl of unknown origin or ethnicity makes contact with her handlers in a drab motel room. The nameless girl learns and recites her instructions: she is being prepared to become a suicide bomber. The location will be Times Square. Director Julia Loktev (Moment of Impact, ND/NF 1998) strips her narrative of motivations: we never learn the circumstances that have brought the girl to this place. The tense narrative concentrates on mood, gesture and a telling accumulation of details. The simple eloquence of novice actress Luisa Williams’ performance recalls the work of Robert Bresson. Loktev’s first dramatic feature is both audacious and quietly spectacular. Born in Russia, Julia Loktev emmigrated to the United States at the age of nine. Her feature documentary Moment of Impact was screened at ND/NF in 1998 and won the Directing Award at Sundance. Day Night Day Night is her fiction feature debut. Fri Mar 30: 9:00pm at the Walter Reade Theater Sat Mar 31: 6:30pm at The Museum of Modern Art
