I tend to only make the effort to see a movie in a theater if it’s being shown from a film print; seeing something projected digitally rarely seems worth it. Alexandre Koberidze’s Dry Leaf, however, demands to be seen on a large screen despite having been shot on the smallest of displays—a 2008 Sony Ericsson W595 phone. Born in then-Soviet Georgia, in 1984, Koberidze released his debut feature Let the Summer Never Come Again in 2017, a nearly three-and-a-half-hour film also photographed on his Ericsson. Koberidze’s sophomore feature What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?—this time shot on 16-mm. by the cinematographer Faraz Fesharaki—premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2021, and was hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “the most entrancingly feel-good movie of the year, which urges you to tell anyone who’d listen about its wondrous existence so they can bask in its soul-soothing magic too.” For Dry Leaf—which won the Special Mention prize at last year’s Locarno Film Festival—Koberidze uses the 144p super lo-res image-making capabilities of the dumbphone to remarkable, impressionistic effect in a 186-minute picture about a father journeying through rural Georgia in search of his lost daughter. Londoners can catch this one-of-one cinematic experience at the Institute of Contemporary Arts beginning June 18. —Spike Carter
