When the Phone Rang

Through an intimate reconstruction of an important phone call, this film explores dislocation and the nature of memory. In the eleven-year-old mind of the main protagonist, the phone call erases her entire country, history, and identity, hiding her existence in books, films, and the memories of those born before 1995.

Director Iva Radivojevic was born in Belgrade and spent her early years in Yugoslavia, Cyprus and NYC. She is an artist and filmmaker who currently divides her time between Athens and Lesbos. Her work circles around dislocation, migration and belonging, seeking to connect to the metaphysical or the magical.
