Drama Girl

2020 · 90 min

A quiet, intellectually playful experiment that blurs the line between performance and reality, inviting you to question how we narrate our own lives.

Directed by: Vincent Boy Kars
Genres: Documentary, Drama
Starring: Leyla de Muynck, Jonas Smulders, Pierre Bokma

Overview: Is our life a story? And if so, can we re-write it? In Drama Girl, director Vincent Boy Kars gets a young woman to act out a number of key scenes from her recent past. Perhaps, Kars thinks, this could help her come to terms with certain events. In the meantime, he also gains something: a film that probes how fiction and documentary can learn from one another.
