White Snail
Levin Peter, Elsa Kremser / AT, DE, 2025 / 115 min.
Melancholy, tender portrait of two outsiders in night-time Minsk, in Belarus. Masja and Misja seem to have nothing in common yet fall in love anyway. Unconventional love story won the Special Jury Prize in Locarno as well as two Leopards for Best Actor.
Minsk, 2025, two lost souls in the city: Masja meet Misja, Misja meet Masja. Blond Masja with her almost translucent skin dreams of becoming a model in China. Misja, a passionate painter, dreams of being able to support himself with his work. However, for the time being the two are still in Minsk, where Misja works at the mortuary at night and Masja focuses on creating the perfect appearance.
Pre-film
Prior to the screening of White Snail, you will see a four-minute fashion report from 1926 in which models showcase the latest French fashion from 1923 and 1926. We see, among other things, gowns with ruffles and pleats, with embroidery and trimmed with fur, various hats, and feather fans. Such films were carefully colorized to accurately depict the latest fashion trends.
