27° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL

45365

45365
by Bill Ross, Turner Ross
Country: USA
Year: 2009
Duration: 90'


45365 is the zip code of Sidney, Ohio, a town with 20,000 inhabitants located in the American Midwest. It’s a town like many others, with people and places just like many others in the United States, and it is the stage for episodes of daily life. The film recounts the love story of two young people, the relationship between a father and his son and small petty crimes. The background is made of typical American clichés like the county fair, the local radio station, the football field of the local high school team.

“We’ve had a continual love affair with the people around us. We don’t want fleeting things to pass so we’ve tried to capture them in some way. In our film work we focus on images and the people in those images – the storyteller rather than the story itself – and in the moments and landscapes that we find ourselves in. We arrived, back after many years, and sought to capture the images that had haunted us since our leaving.”
