The Camera's Reclamation of Geneva The Swiss French feature "Summer Drift" premiered at ACID Cannes, bringing to the forefront a story both deeply personal and politically charged.
Directed by Céline Carridroit and Aline Suter, this film weaves together documentary and autofiction to tell the tale of Johanna Schopfer, a watch factory worker in Geneva who finds solace and identity in restoring her vintage VW Beetle.
At its surface, "Summer Drift" appears to be a cinematic ode to the joys of tinkering with old machines.
