Desert Haze
ABOUT
The American West. A world where human life seems to be impossible. An arid, mythical landscape characterized by the absence of water. But traces start to appear and the film becomes a peculiar portrait of America, between present and past, myth and reality: astronauts preparing for future missions to Mars, Japanese country singers, military archeologists, and many other forms of life.
SOFIE BENOOT lives and works in Brussels. Her films are patchworks of different stories, which are carefully puzzled together to reveal hidden connections. Fronterismo (2007), Blue Meridian (2010) and Desert Haze (2014) played at internationally renowned film festivals such as Visions du Réel, Cinema du Réel, Camden International Film Festival, Torino Film Festival, Doclisboa and BAFICI. Victoria (2020), co-directed with Liesbeth De Ceulaer and Isabelle Tollenaere won the Caligari award at the Berlin film festival. She teaches at LUCA School of Arts in Brussels.
