Director Albert Serra on His New Ingrid Caven Film and a Wild Elvis Dream!

Director Albert Serra looking thoughtful during an interview.
  • What’s Inside:
  • Director Albert Serra talks about his new film, ‘Sixteen Moments of My Life’.
  • Why it’s NOT a concert film.
  • His surprising wish to have directed Elvis Presley!

We just got our hands on some seriously cool news from the Locarno Film Festival! Director Albert Serra, the guy behind ‘Pacifiction,’ has a new movie out called ‘Sixteen Moments of My Life.’ But hold up, don’t even think about calling it a concert film. That’s a big no-no for Serra.

This movie actually captures a super special, one-time performance by the legendary Ingrid Caven in Paris. We’re talking about a real artist, a real moment. The vibe? It’s all about that raw, authentic energy Caven brings to the stage. It sounds like it has a really unique visual aesthetic.

But here’s the kicker, and honestly, we’re still smiling about this part. Serra also shared that he would have absolutely loved to direct Elvis Presley himself! Can you even imagine that? The King of Rock and Roll with Serra’s artistic eye behind the camera? That’s a movie we’d definitely want to see.

Our Take

We love hearing directors talk about their art with such passion! Serra’s dedication to capturing genuine moments, not just flashy performances, is really refreshing. And the Elvis thought? Pure fun! It just goes to show how art can connect us across different eras.
