Moment of Impact with Julia Loktev in person

With Julia Loktev in person 

Dir. Julia Loktev. 1998, 115 mins. U.S. 16mm. Loktev, director of the expansive new documentary My Undesirable Friends, explores the ripple effect of change and loss in her family’s life nine years after her father, Lenny, is struck by a car while passing between garage sales on a busy street. Her mother, Larisa, becomes a primary focus of the film as Lenny’s caregiver and medium, providing translations of his silence to Julia, who grapples with bringing to the surface more of his former self. Moment of Impact is a poignant exploration of what it means to live and to grieve loss before death, as the three Loktevs move both together and further apart. Loktev’s unsparing eye won her the Best Directing Award at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival.
