Claire Facing North screens at the 2024 New Jersey International Film Festival on Friday, June 7th

Claire Facing North, which screens online at the 2024 New Jersey International Film Festival on Friday, June 7th, starts off with images of greenery, sheep, and an awfully violent volcano. These images act as somewhat of a parallel to the unfinished nature of lead character Claire’s sentiments. She goes off into the mountains as some sort of search for self-discovery, which is peculiar considering the age of the elderly woman. Usually, there’s this notion of having a mid-life crisis, but here, it’s apparent she’s having it at a way less tender age. What then occurs to me while watching this is that I came to this conclusion having only seen moving images as there is no dialogue to help me get there. There’s this innately visceral nature to the film, even without much dialogue. The image alone conveys so much while vocally saying literally nothing. Even having interacted with other people who appear in the film, the woman’s only reactions come from facial expressions. There is no vocal retaliation, and the viewers are left then with an introspection, giving us the opportunity to really sit with the film in real-time and think. The nature of the thinking is not of a logical one, but more of a stream of consciousness. We as viewers are put into her place, living through the same moments and having similar thoughts.
