The world asks to be changed, and you could do that by putting a woman in front of the city&#8217;s skyline at dusk and look at her in that certain way and there was cinema and everything suddenly different. Headshots is all about freedom in the way it moves, develops in ways that refuse to add up in any conventional sense; and it&#8217;s about a woman in search of one word&#8217;s essence: choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/still_bed_HS-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/still_bed_HS-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/still_bed_HS-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/still_bed_HS-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/still_bed_HS-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/still_bed_HS-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Synchron<\/em> Filmmagazin interview (in German):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio aligncenter\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Synchron-120503.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"recurring dream_headshots.mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/682884851?h=28a9b603b9&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"old friend busted door.mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/682883839?h=99fa614176&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gatekeeper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/driving-1-copy-1024x521.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/driving-1-copy-1024x521.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/driving-1-copy-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/driving-1-copy-768x390.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/driving-1-copy-1536x781.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lawrencetooley.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/driving-1-copy.jpg 1611w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Logline:<br>Things are never the same after Elly Brandl, a wealthy gallery owner in Vienna, decides to help out a young victim of human trafficking get back on his feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"gatekeeper_at the party 1.mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/682881966?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">selected Reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cineropa<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marina Richter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cineuropa.org\/f.aspx?t=film&amp;l=en&amp;did=349885\"><em>Gatekeeper<\/em><\/a>, the second feature by Texan-born, Vienna-based filmmaker <strong>Lawrence Tooley<\/strong>, currently screening at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cineuropa.org\/el.aspx?el=http%3A\/\/www.diagonale.at\/\">Diagonale<\/a> in Austria, is a different take on human trafficking within European borders.

It\u2019s built of thriller and noir elements, has traces of envy-driven drama and even some unexpected screwball moments. The psychically precarious life of the protagonist is described in stylised sequences, elegantly filmed by Tom Jide Akinleminu, to modernist music ( Salvatore Sciarrino, Manfred Stahnke, John Zorn).

A woman drags an unconscious man over the floorboards of her fashionable Viennese loft. Her name ist Elly (Loretta Pflaum), a gallery owner who spends her nights cruising through Vienna in a black pageboy wig. He is a young Romanian without papers whom she has hit with her car. Exactly why she takes him in we do not know &#8211; but we can be certain that her actions are not entirely selfless. The man\u2019s background also remain mysterious. He is portrayed by two actors, (Anghel Damian and George Pistereanu.)These irritations make is obvious that Tooley &#8211; who wrote the script together with his partner Pflaum &#8211; is not taking us in the direction of social drama. Instead of typical ascriptions (the refugee and the well-to-do woman), the film leaves the characters refreshingly opaque. The foreigner sleeps a lot during the day, household chores are forbidden to him (\u201cI don\u2019t like domestic!\u201d). The art expert prefers the aesthetic view of her new sub-letter and enjoys his presence like that of a pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>The tidy and pleasurable way in which Tooley translates feelings into space reminds us of Asian cinema.<\/p><cite>dominik kamalzadeh<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>She records his somnolent monologues at night. Is he really the traumatised victim of human traffickers that Elly\u2019s ex-boyfriend takes him for? Luckily the film pursues such speculations only casually. Only people outside of their world try to impose identity onto them. Both sides profit from each other in Elly\u2019s loft: Eroticism develops as the man begins to return her gaze.<br>The tidy and pleasurable way in which Tooley translates feelings into space reminds us of Asian cinema. Body language and camera perspectives tell us as much as dialogues do.
