Screening: Viennale ExtraVALUE Film Award Winner: Sara Fattahi’s “Chaos”

Sara Fattahi is one of the two recipients of the 2018 Erste Bank’s ExtraVALUE Film Award, which she received for her film Chaos at the 2018 Viennale. On the occasion of her residency at Deutsches Haus at NYU, Deutsches Haus co-presents together with Anthology Film Archives and Erste Bank a screening of Chaos (2018). Sara Fattahi will be present at the screening.

Chaos narrates the story of three women in three different cities, each of whom has given up on life. One lives in Damascus. She has stopped speaking to others entirely, isolating herself in her flat. The other left for Sweden, where she imprisons herself in her paintings, hoping through them to rid herself of the torments of the past. The third ended up in Vienna and faces an unknown future. It is a discussion between a woman stuck in Damascus, a second stuck in exile, and a third who has recently left. It is a conversation between the interior and exterior – an impossible conversation.
