“What else would you like to know?” A24 has revealed an official trailer for a small documentary film titled Look Into My Eyes, the latest doc creation from acclaimed filmmaker Lana Wilson (also of After Tiller, The Departure, Miss Americana). This initially premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and it also screened at CPH:DOX, Full Frame, True/False, and Hot Docs. Look Into My Eyes is an intimate and cathartic journey into the world of New York City’s psychics and their ongoing search for connection. The film offers a very rare caught-on-camera look at the work of psychics – focusing the lens both on them and on their clients in various conversations. Five different psychics are featured & profiled, and many of their candid conversations are featured, making for a fascinating look into their lives. Are they bogus? Is it all made up? Maybe it is, but this doc shows it it’s also helpful anyway – for both the psychic and their clients, they gain something meaningful from these interactions. If you’re curious, check this out.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Lana Wilson’s Look Into My Eyes, direct from A24’s YouTube:
Original intro from Sundance: “A group of New York City psychics conduct deeply intimate readings for their clients, revealing a kaleidoscope of loneliness, connection, and healing… Over a series of interviews and with a camera that is not afraid to get up close and personal, [director] Lana Wilson highlights the ins and outs of being a psychic and what that entails, while constructing a tender portrayal of the clients. A thoughtfully paced and oftentimes deeply personal piece, it unfolds the grief, turmoil, and loneliness that come along with being a human. On the flip side, the joys of gaining clarity, achieving closure, and even having a pet are experienced..” Look Into My Eyes is directed by American doc filmmaker Lana Wilson, director of the doc films After Tiller, The Departure, Miss Americana, the “Brooke Shields in Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields” doc series, and episodes of “Mind/Trip” previously. It’s produced by Kyle Martin and Lana Wilson. This initially premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. A24 will debut Look Into My Eyes in select US theaters starting on September 6th, 2024 coming soon. Is anyone intrigued?
