BFI Film Festival highlights: Christine trailer

BFI Film Festival highlights: Christine trailer by Antonio Campos

For his third feature film, Antonio Campos takes a notorious media event and turns it into a psychological thriller. The film shows the events before Christine Chubbuck’s suicide she committed live on television in 1974 and paints a picture where dreams, ambitions and self-disappointment clash. While Campos tries to navigate the reasons behind journalist’s dramatic decision, he is also telling a candid story about depression.
