Face B

Adopting the metaphor of a record’s hidden B-side, the film follows Leila—a singer, actress, and newly self-appointed filmmaker—as she embarks on her first feature “Berlin Telegram,” secretly directing and starring while journeying between Berlin and Paris. She collects lost footage and rewrites her own narrative, creating a poetic hybrid that blurs autobiography, fiction, and the process of remaking one’s story.
