In one of the breakout discoveries of this year’s Rotterdam festival andhis feature debut, Stefan Djordevic returns to his hometown to make a documentary about his mother. And it’s easy to see why as their reunion is loaded with dramatic potential. Stefan is a staunch rationalist, while his mother leans boldly into metaphysics. But reality soon crashes into the project, forcing the director to abandon his original plan. Documentary starts to merge with fiction and the clash of worldviews gives way to a chronicle of mourning. Despite dealing with a liminal experience, Djordevic maintains the quiet gentleness that was present from the outset. Wind, Talk to Me becomes a patient, hopeful search for the traces left behind by those we love. As Stefan looks for signs in the world around him and finds a new closeness with nature, he also begins to wonder: was his mother whom he once teasingly called “my hippie” actually right when she claimed you could control the wind with the power of your will?
