Let Me Breathe Again
Description
I followed two sisters, Nani and Emilie Pria, Franco-Romanian, exploring the depth of their bond. From Paris to Romania, we retraced the paths of their youth through their grandmother’s garden, parks in Bucharest, and other cherished places where nature and the city mirror their emotions. This is a film about a deep, complex, sometimes unbalanced, and imperfect relationship, showing how sisterhood can be both beautiful and complicated. Exploring their relationship through a poetic soundscape. The music acts as a third character, immersing us in the experience of their emotional journey.
Runtime: 9 minutes 38 seconds
Director Biography - Kenza Meunier is a French filmmaker, 31, whose work is shaped by a strong attachment to sound, rhythm, and the physical presence of images. A graduate of L’École de la Cité, she develops projects that move along the edge of narrative cinema, music film, and sensory forms, searching for ways to tell stories that do not rely on dialogue.
Her films are built from atmospheres: a gesture, a vibration, a breath, a musical pulse. Words are often absent or secondary, giving space to listening and to the emotional charge carried by sound design, bodies, and light. She is interested in what can be understood without being explained, and in how a viewer can enter a story through sensation rather than plot.
Working closely with musicians and sound artists, she approaches directing as a compositional process, where editing follows tempo and images respond to sonic textures. This method creates pieces that function as experiences as much as narratives, inviting an intuitive, almost physical reception.
Her current work continues this exploration of a cinema guided by rhythm and perception, where meaning appears through the interplay of silence, movement, and music.
