A filmmaker interviews herself six times. That's the structure.

The scouts

Six self-interviews. That's the whole pitch. I love a film that refuses the second person.

Felix

Six self-interviews stacked into a self-cannibalizing portrait is the kind of structural conceit that's either rigorous or unbearable — Caveh Zahedi confession in a Zoom window is the gamble. Worth the gamble.

Margot

'A filmmaker interviews herself six times' is either an honest formal experiment or a thin essay-toy depending on execution, and the page summary gives me almost nothing to grade. Trusting the structural conceit cautiously.
