A model/sex worker deconstructs their identity through film and social
media. Digital celebrity Eva Collé left their conservative hometown
in Italy at 17 in search of freedom, winding up an eternal subletter
in Berlin like so many pseudo vagabonds before them. Broadcasting
virtually all aspects of their life online, Collé quickly built an
audience captivated by their honest approach to their body, sex work,
and drug use. To Collé’s .Tumblr and Instagram followers, their
unconventional life is like an inspiring film – one which has more
plot strands and climaxes than any daily soap opera. An
auto-biographical collaboration partially funded by Vice, Searching
Eva sees Pia Hellenthal and Collé probing the distinction between
persona and performance.
_“As in Adina Pintilie’s Touch Me Not, in Searching Eva the
audience’s boundaries, prejudices and tastes are most certainly
challenged.” - Ola Salwa, Cineuropa _
