Blind Date 2.0
Jan Soldat, 2022, DE, digital, 8'

The introverted Paul candidly welcomes the film crew and a sex date to his home. The film speaks not of lustful arousal but of empathy, of the filmmaker with his protagonist and of the protagonist with his guest. As viewers, we stand still with the camera in the doorway. We neither move forward nor backward. From the threshold, we don't know if we want to intrude into the extreme intimacy or withdraw from the uncomfortable affection.
