The House Within
- NEW ZEALAND / 2024 / 71 min
Director: Joshua Prendeville
Writer Fiona Kidman recounts her life story in a solo narration. Deliberately excluding family, friends, acquaintances, or any other figures, the film draws solely on Fiona’s own perspective and memories to evoke vivid imagery. It carefully captures the light and shadow of her life, the fluctuations of her emotions, and the subtle nuances of her experiences. In scenes where she reads passages from her own work, her language—at once delicate and bold—is striking enough to take your breath away.
