In this exclusive interview, in collaboration with Kinótico, we speak with Laura Carreira, the Portuguese director and writer of "On Falling". This debut feature, produced between the UK and Portugal, is competing for the Golden Shell at the San Sebastian International Film Festival (SSIFF). "On Falling" was hailed by Indiewire as “a quietly devastating debut showcasing a new master of emotionally sophisticated social realism” following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

ON FALLING
"On Falling" follows Aurora, a Portuguese warehouse worker in a large Scottish fulfillment center. Trapped between the walls of her workplace and the solitude of her flat-share, she battles isolation, alienation, and small talk that threatens her sense of self. Set in a world where the algorithm-driven gig economy keeps people apart, "On Falling" explores the quiet, essential struggle to find meaning and connection in an increasingly disconnected world.
