A Love Affair of Sorts (2011)

Synopsis

Blurring the edges between reality and fiction, and in an era where we all live in public to a certain extent, A LOVE AFFAIR OF SORTS is a modern twist on a love affair in the digital age. The first feature film to be shot entirely on a flip camera, its narrative follows two lonely strangers in modern day Los Angeles, during the holiday season. The film begins with David, a painter, and Enci, a Hungarian nanny, who meet in a bookstore when he catches her shoplifting on his ever-present flip camera. As they start a tentative relationship, he captures it all on his digital camera, though nothing about the situation is as straightforward as it seems. Things are complicated further with the addition of Enci's boyfriend, Boris, and David's brutally honest friend, Jonathan. Chronicling the couple's desire to be constantly filmed, and their need to really connect in the lonely landscape of Los Angeles at Christmastime, A LOVE AFFAIR OF SORTS takes a wry look at the way technology brings us together while also keeping us at a distance, and how it may have changed what it is to love and be loved
