Kazik Radwanski | Canada | 2019 | 75m
with Deragh Campbell, Matt Johnson, Dorothea Paas, Lawrene Denkers
Anne (Deragh Campbell) has a seemingly ordinary and stable life as a single daycare worker in Toronto. But after an overwhelming skydiving trip for her best friend Sara's bachelorette party, the ground shifts beneath Anne's feet. She starts to bring a care-free joyfulness to her conservative job, the effects of which spill over into her personal life. At Sara's wedding, Anne meets Matt (Matt Johnson) who takes to her offbeat, confrontational charms, but she soon finds herself pushing the limits of what's socially acceptable. Anne at 13,000 ft is a rigorous, volatile portrait of a young woman struggling to come down to earth, from director Kazik Radwanski (Tower, which premiered at the Locarno Film Festival; How Heavy This Hammer, Berlin International Film Festival; Scaffold, New York Film Festival) and Toronto's acclaimed MDFF filmmaking collaborative.

"A singularly astonishing performance by Deragh Campbell as Anne" -Guy Lodge, The Guardian
"Heralds impressive talents to watch in both Radwanski and Campbell." -Wendy Ide, Screen International
