MODRA

Synopsis

WORLD PREMIERE TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

(80 min. 2010)

A portrait of teenage self-discovery against the backdrop of a village in Slovakia.

“Veninger displays a confident control of tone and pacing… a prime example of heartfelt DIY filmmaking that really works… poignantly alert to the nuances of teen life, perfectly capturing that confusing betwixt-and-between time…” Alissa Simon, Variety

“[Hallie] Switzer and [Alexander] Gammal are naturals… Veninger’s deceptively relaxed style captures every glance, outburst and hesitation.” Norman Wilner, NOW Magazine

“Connection, conflict, local colour and teenage confusion are rendered with intimacy and lightness of touch.”
 Jason Anderson
, Toronto Star
