Directed by Alexandre Koberidze
Lisa, a photographer, has gone missing. The last known detail is that she had been photographing rural football stadiums in villages across Georgia.

unlabelledView post →I loved Koberidze’s playful film WHAT DO WE SEE…, and his follow-up, DRY LEAF, sounds just as beguiling. #FilmSky “It’s a movie to ride shotgun alongside, with the windows down on a lazy trip to nowhere in particular, that ends up taking you everywhere in particular.” variety.com/2025/film/re...

unlabelledView post →next to Dry Leaf and One Battle After Another, Sirāt is certainly the lesser film; too content with its metaphors, style, and weathered faces to build compelling characters, and then forcing shock into the proceedings to cover for the lack of investment a good movie, and cool, but wanting
unlabelledView post →Dry Leaf could well be the most demanding film at this year's TIFF. But even at 3 hours, the way Alexandre Koberidze gently coaxes us to expand our horizons and ways of seeing the filmic image as we saunter through rural Georgia through the lens of an obsolete Sony Ericsson is a mesmerizing feat.

unlabelledView post →TONIGHT is your only chance in St. Louis to see Aleksandre Koberidze's DRY LEAF, surely our most requested film so far of 2026! Showtime 7:00pm sharp, no trailers. About a father looking for his daughter across abandoned soccer pitches in the Georgian countryside. Shot on an old phone camera.
unlabelledView post →"We notice our noticing, become aware of how this film abt looking undoes our own ways of seeing. In Dry Leaf, seeing is, to a considerable extent, imagining, requiring us to fill in details that the image lacks. 'The more you remove... the more that remains for the spectator.'" Medium cool ❄️
unlabelledView post →DRY LEAF is an eternally long film about a man looking for his missing daughter by looking at soccer pitches. Shot on an old cellphone its the sort of film that made people think art house films were a joke www.unseenfilms.net/2026/03/dry-...

unlabelledView post →An excellent review of Dry Leaf, which I completely agree with, although with the caveat that I actually walked out of the film halfway through. And it sounds like I missed the most exciting bit.
unlabelledView post →Turns out there is a limit to how long I can watch a film shot on a Sony Ericsson mobile phone on a big cinema screen, and that limit is 90 minutes. Unfortunately, Dry Leaf is 306 minutes long.
