Immortals
Synopsis
Immortals is an experimental documentary short film shot in 8mm that explores the introspection of an artist, Bettina Szabo. The film delves into her relationship with her sense of belonging, her body, her imagination, and nature. Sometimes one must lose oneself to find oneself better, and burn everything down to start anew on a solid foundation.

Director's statement
Immortals is a work which is part of the choreographic project ''We will be giantess when we die'' carried out by the artist Elizabeth Crispo.
Elizabeth initially asked a dance artist, Bettina Szabo, to invite a filmmaker to work with her on a specific premise: In what environment do you evolve without crushing yourself?
The creation of the work was done in collaboration between these two artists, Bettina Szabo and Mark Durand, with great artistic freedom and editorial independence.
