In A Year With 13 Deaths

About This Movie

In A Year With 13 Deaths is an intriguing documentary that captures a unique blend of light painting and nature imagery. The film unfolds in a series of 13 distinct shots, each representing different points of luminescence, which ties back to the 13th anniversary of the director Schwartz’s mother’s passing. It’s a personal homage to Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 'In a Year with Thirteen Moons', which adds a layer of depth and introspection. The pacing feels almost meditative, allowing viewers to linger on the visuals and let the atmosphere wash over them. There's an experimental quality here that stands apart from conventional documentaries, making it a notable piece for collectors who appreciate thematic exploration and practical artistry in film.
