Institute History
Description
Little Mimi’s entire world implodes in the wake of her mother’s suicide attempt. Mimi is placed in the care of her stoic Aunt Solange in her modest housing-project apartment. On her very first night, Mimi’s sleep is interrupted by the arrival of her aunt’s lover Jean-Pierre, a stranger whose presence threatens her physical safety and emotional stability. Mimi deftly registers the cramped subsistence, fluorescent drone, and waxen spirit of life in the projects. In her somber and desolate portrait of victimization, Lucile Hadzilhalilovic has captured the caustic rupturings of familial dislocation from a child’s perspective

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
