Nestled in our checklist of most-anticipated 2024 openeds was actually Zia Anger’s My First Film, a twist on/ growth of/ who-can-say coming from her much-lauded pants My First Film (2015) as well as My Final Film (2019 ). Before the component’s staged launch coming from MUBI, there is actually a first teaser through which Anger direct-addresses our team, the potential customer, on a film “[about] the first one (and other stuff).” Combining upright video footage acquainted to anybody on social networks along with series much more plentiful in creation market value (including Odessa Youthful as well as Devon Ross), it assists our team know what she is actually planning … relatively.
As Frank Falisi stated in our 2024 examine, “How to anticipate something you’re not sure of? Is the word always ‘anxiety’? What room exists for the unknown to be experienced without ever being known, to feel something like ‘good,’ even when prodding the failure to be known? Or: if you’ve made My First Film (2019) after My Last Film (2015), isn’t it time to make My First Film (2024) again? Zia Anger, one of our most turbulent / turbulently joyous prodders of the moving image, returns to excavating abandonment, this time (?) with the veneer of fiction (?) wrap-warped around Odessa Clark in front of the camera and Ashley Connor behind it. I don’t know what it will be. I’ll be there––isn’t ‘anticipating’ a movie just sitting in the dark, and then light?”
