Director Josephine Decker & DP Sturla Brandth Grøvlen on “Shirley” | Berlinale Talents 2020
It takes two to trust. Space-bending director Josephine Decker and moving-image architect Sturla Brandth Grøvlen retrace the steps of their initial film collaboration on “Shirley” (Encounters 2020). Set in 1950s America, the film portrays the uneasy life of the couple formed by a folklore professor and the novelist Shirley Jackson, a tortured genius played by Talents alumna Elisabeth Moss. But does this stormy on-screen duo suggest anything about the one Josephine and Sturla formed on set? Both have developed their own distinct filmmaking language up to now: the first in pursuit of a playful indie quality in her features, the second in search of sharp yet versatile cinematography. So how did this pair of filmmakers find themselves in the dance?
Berlinale Talents is the festival’s talent development programme for 250 emerging filmmakers and series creators from all over the world, featuring 30 public talks, workshops and screenings.
