Life May Be

A visual epistolary dialogue between filmmakers. Mark Cousins continues his personal essay approach to the life and creators of images, stimulated by an assignment to write liner notes for one of Mania Akbari's 20 Fingers. Akbari's contributions take on a different reflective tone as she traces her life in Iran, the stages of her exile and her experience with breast cancer and recuperation. The convergence of themes, subjects and love creates a cinematic fugue in two compelling voices.
