Come Swim

2017. USA. Written and directed by Kristen Stewart. Presented at the Sundance and Cannes film festivals, actress Kristen Stewart’s debut as a writer-director is a rapturous portrait of a “heartbroken man underwater,” a film whose painterly, dreamlike aesthetic was created through an artificial-intelligence process known as “neural style transfer.” Courtesy of Starlight Studios. 17 min.
