Director's / Curator's Statement:
„The world is often presented in oppositions, as something polarized. We all know its actually more complex, yet often fail to focus as the simplistic dual enable easy equations. Contradicting East and West is one of the oldest discursive tools, that has dramatic manifestations in our contemporary reality. In my film “In Between” I want to bring out some of those clashes in a society and in a human being. The protagonists and myself, we all try to create alternative realities or narratives, yet there is a space in the film for the viewer to create ones own story. I believe it is possible to co-exist. The core things we expect from life are universal that rise beyond the earthly level.“ (Liis Lepik)
