2022 Sundance Directing Award–World Cinema Dramatic

A touching drama on dance, compromise, and a different way to love, Slow follows dancer Elena and sign language interpreter Dovydas who meet and immediately form a beautiful bond. As they dive into a new relationship, they must navigate how to build their own kind of intimacy, especially when one declares that they are asexual, leading to an inevitable strain. Influenced by Nan Goldin, and shot entirely handheld on 16mm film for its natural aesthetic, Slow debuted in Sundance in January.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
