Holding My Breath

About This Movie

Holding My Breath is an intriguing exploration of existence during a time of crisis. Shot in the artist's studio during the pandemic lockdown, it feels deeply personal and introspective. The pacing is reflective, providing a sense of stillness as it captures moments that resonate with isolation and contemplation. It’s part of Kahlen's ongoing body of work that engages with the concept of wind, which adds a layer of metaphor to the film. The way air—something intangible—dictates mood and feeling here is quite striking. There’s no flashy direction, just a raw, unfiltered look at a unique moment in time. It's not typical documentary fare, but that’s what makes it distinctive in its own right.
