Hide

Award-winning filmmaker Daniel Gray, who made audience favourite Teeth (LIFF29), has created yet another exquisite and uncanny film. On a rainy day, two brothers play hide and seek. As one boy counts, the other quickly hides in a small cabinet, stubbornly determined to win. Seconds pass… then minutes… years… decades… A graduation film that has been a big hit with film festivals, Leaf is a tender story that deals with being apart from loved ones. “I wanted this film to hug you” said director Aliona Baranova, who made the film in response to her separation from her parents.
