Zia Anger’s absorbing, semi-autobiographic metafiction captures the failures of Vita (Odessa Young), a 25-year-old artist trying to make a nebulously personal movie in 2010. Reflecting on the preoccupations of a creative coming-of-age protagonist, Anger re-creates authentically uncomfortable, hilarious, and chaotic moments on set and behind the scenes with a cast and crew of friends and family. The beguiling result takes audiences through a circuitous unraveling to ask what it means to be a voyeur of one’s own messy life. Featuring a cameo by Sarah Michelson as an abortion doctor and music by Perfume Genius. 2024, US, DCP, 100 min.

Zia Anger works in moving images. In 2018 she began touring a new performance that traced the last 10 years of her lost and abandoned work, titled My First Film. The performance has since been adapted into a feature film. She has made music videos for various artists, including Angel Olsen, Mitski, Beach House, Maggie Rogers, and Jenny Hval. Anger’s work has been called “an exceptional commitment to radical transparency.”
