“It just felt right to have my first narrative short film being inspired by something that has accompanied me since I first ventured into the world of cinema as a student,” Geller tells Short of the Week. Geller had been wanting to make a short film for quite some time and though she had directed plenty of music videos and fashion films, she knew that narrative work is something very different and wanted to lend her filmmaking style to material that she came across years ago. Him & Her was shot over the course of three days in Moscow It goes without saying that I absolutely love how this film ends and I felt more in love with them because of their struggles to keep each other afloat. While at times, her spoiled nature and his depressed drunkenness implies that they might be toxic for each other, Geller reveals in small intimate moments just how much they really care for one another. Yet with Geller’s Him & Her, the couple reflects on one another in between flashbacks, providing glimpses into what makes their dynamic so fitting.

There’s a dark humor to Chekhov’s original story, composed of a series of letters between two lovers, that allows the reader to observe the relationship from afar, with humour and without any judgment. How would I be able to adapt something with no real narrative into a short film? How would I be able to stay true to the original, but also bring something of myself into the final result? Chekhov is my favourite writer, so I wanted to make sure that I made something worthy of his work,” Geller explains. “As a student, I remember my professor at the time said that turning He & She into a film wouldn’t be possible. “My professor at the time said that turning He & She into a film wouldn’t be possible” And she was right to do so because actors Evgeniy Kharitonov and Miriam Sekhon’s performances are so authentic that it feels like they really would orbit in and out of each other’s worlds. “For every scene, we’d do a mise-en-scene with the actors so that I could get an idea of how they were going to move – I wanted to avoid cutting their acting as much as possible,” Geller tells Short of the Week. Much like the dynamic of the couple, we’re given a perspective that is in a perpetual state of motion, pushing and pulling in a way that echoes the way they feel for one another. In what can only be described as rhythmic filmmaking, the camera moves around her characters in a kind of dance.
