Windows is an unusual narrative with a series of nine stories, each constructed as an uncut shot, looking through a window.

Windows is a film about borders. Be it physical, psychological, social or ideological we constantly build walls to either separate or protect ourselves from others. Windowsthen is the link between the interior and the exterior. Between the private and the public. Between the internal and the external.

When shooting Windows I made one important formal decision regarding the aesthetic
of all 9 vignettes. That decision was that each film would be one long uncut shot.
Cutting in film serves to condense time and expand space, resulting in magically
crossing many borders and boundaries. But what if your story itself is about the
border? What if the middle term, the gap, or more precisely "Window is your
subject matter?

In Windows, then, by staying in real time, the spaces on the two sides of the bordersstart to collapse as solid entities and mesh into each other. Here through a multi layer inversion of the pairs of opposites, such as time/space, fiction/reality, joyous/dire, we
enter a world beyond our erected walls.
