Directions
This poetic documentary short explores how Marilyn Monroe continues to echo through modern identity, beauty, and femininity today through the journey of Swedish model Josefine Forsberg.
Filmed across Los Angeles, Malibu, London, Innsbruck, and the Austrian Alps, the film blends intimate voice-over storytelling with cinematic imagery, reimagining iconic Marilyn moments while creating entirely new ones.
Moving between glamour, isolation, projection, and self-discovery, the film reflects on legacy, reinvention, and the emotional mythology that still surrounds one of cinema’s most enduring icons.
