Victoria Franco, known for her behind-the-scenes role in her brother Michel Franco's films, debuts as a director with "Twelve Moons" at the Tribeca Film Festival. This feature focuses on Sofia, a 40-year-old architect grappling with profound grief and seeking to maintain her identity. Victoria has used a live editing method, which she developed with Michel, to enhance storytelling in her film. Their interview reveals their deep creative partnership and the emotional themes of womanhood and recovery present in her new work.
VICTORIA FRANCO I fell in love with the title because it brought together a number of different themes I wanted to touch on. The film tackles themes of womanhood and addiction. The number twelve representing the twelve steps of recovery and twelve months of the year. The moons representing the reproductive cycle of the woman.
MICHEL FRANCO It started on a film called Through the Eyes that Victoria and I shot together - it was part fiction and part doc.
