Happy Monday – Andrew Filippone Jr

Watch Happy Monday

Happy Monday (2006)
In Happy Monday documentarian Andrew Filippone Jr. tells a simple story through a radically new formal language for non-fiction film, where story and subject are externalized and made tangible. Looking anew at his first film project – a failed and unfinished decade-old narrative short – Filippone recasts the unused 16mm negative into a vague and lifeless human shape that audiences linger over and read, the frozen moments entombed in its frames a moving expression of naive ambition and undisguised failure.
