Lev Kalman

San Diego–based filmmaker Lev Kalman was born in 1982 and has been making films with Whitney Horn since 2003, when they were undergraduates in New York City. Their distinctive style blends lo-fi 16 mm photography, dreamy electronic music, philosophic musings, and steady bursts of absurdist humor. Their films Blondes in the Jungle and L for Leisure have played at festivals including Rotterdam, BFI London, and BAMcinemaFest. Two Plains & a Fancy is their second feature. This below list was selected by Kalman and Horn, with notes by Kalman.
