Berman's March
Jordan Tetewsky / Joshua Pikovsky
A lonely working-class drifter takes a road trip to reunite with his old friends at a remote cabin. He travels for several days, encountering the other souls populating the highways and campgrounds of a changing America. When he arrives to meet his friends, he finds them somewhat changed as well.
Joshua Pikovsky and Jordan Tetewsky grew up together in a small town in New England. After co-directing several short films, they made their first feature film, Hannah Ha Ha, in competition at Entrevues in 2022.

A word from the selection committee :
In Berman’s March, Jordan Tetewsky and Joshua Pilowsky pursue their sharp investigation of the losers of America, which delighted us in Hanna Ha Ha. true to their characteristic nonchalance, they have become even more radical in their criticism of crypto-addicts and socially overachieving winners: unlike Hannah’s yuppie older brother in Hannah Ha Ha, they can no longer be saved at the eleventh hour. Charlie’s disillusionment when confronted by his old friend’s transformation rather reminds us of the placid despair of Bresson’s characters. We know rather little about the protagonist’s social background and that of the lovable people he meets on his journey to his friends’ chalet, since the filmmakers refuse to use any sociological construct. Utterly non-naturalistic, Berman’s March offers a witty, winding tale of sorrow and introduces us to lost characters living in the service stations and on the edge of fiction.
