IXXI

Sean Wilsey’s film IX XI defies expectations, centered on the 2001 World Trade Center destruction and portraying New Yorkers of that day. However, it's not a mere reportage or political analysis. Absent from the film, Wilsey's unique personal meditation unfolds through abstractly arranged interview fragments with thirteen individuals. Despite his absence, his astonishing empathy brings forth profound, often surprising thoughts from the interviewees, captured gorgeously on film, offering a hypnotic and life-affirming vision of humanity.
