Born in Germany to French Iranian parents, Berlin-based filmmaker Emily Atef has always been drawn to stories of headstrong women in crisis—women who, when faced with a difficult situation, feel compelled to pursue a road less traveled, less known, even at the risk of being subsumed. On Metrograph At Home, view her two most recent films: "More Than Ever", a 2022 Cannes selection in which Vicky Krieps looks for solace on Norway’s rocky slopes as Hélène, a woman diagnosed with a terminal illness, and 2023 Berlinale Competition title "Someday We’ll Tell Each Other Everything", the story of a 19-year-old girl’s taboo-breaking sexual awakening.
