A new film, ‘Down the Arm of God,’ directed by Peter Brunner and produced by Luc Besson, premiered at Locarno after being created in collaboration with people experiencing homelessness. The filmmakers state the project is intended to spark conversation rather than advocate for a specific position.
The Locarno-premiering film was directed by former Michael Haneke student Peter Brunner and counts Luc Besson among its producers. What sets ‘Down the Arm of God’ apart, however, is its unique creative process: it was created with “people who live the reality of homelessness.”
According to those involved, the intention behind the film isn't to push a particular agenda. Brunner described the project as a “conversation starter, not an advocacy film.” The filmmakers sought to create a work that explores lived experiences without explicitly framing them within a political or activist context.
