LOVETRUE

Director:Alma Har’el

Cinematography: Alma Har’el, Theo Stanley

Cast: Abraham Boyd, Angel Boyd, Harmony Boyd, Israel Boyd

After winning Tribeca’s Best Documentary Feature Award in 2011 for her remarkable debut, Bombay Beach, director and cinematographer Alma Har’el returns with the premiere of her anticipated sophomore feature. This genre-bending documentary brings Har’el’s signature poetic imagery and fascination with performance in nonfiction to three complimentary stories that seek to demystify the fantasy of true love. Using an atmospheric blend of follow-along footage, artful camerawork, and scenes depicting the past, present, and future of her subjects, Har’el follows three complicated, real-life relationships as they unfold in distinct corners of the country.

“Thanks to the sensual approach of its cinematography, the result is a warm and formally bold look at what love can mean beyond its initially fantastical promise.”
