ADA/AVA

Bereaved of her twin sister Ava, septuagenarian Ada solitarily marks time in the patterns of a life built for two. However, a traveling carnival and a trip to a mirror maze plunges her into a journey across the thresholds of life and death. Set in a landscape of the New England gothic, Ada/Ava uses a story of the fantastic and super natural to explore mourning and melancholy, self and other.

“An exquisitely precise piece of visual story telling” 

– The Guardian

“Manual Cinema is talent incarnate.” 

– Time Out New York
