Dn first caught From A Strange Land, Caroline’s Steinbeis’ joyful comedy drama about finding shared ground, at The Shortest Nights in 2021. Back then the film grabbed us as a work which balanced a light and playful tone with a thematic interest in how different perspectives can converge to find a commonality. It’s about a curious neighbour who visits a family who’ve recently moved into her street but when she arrives in their home she’s given a most unusual greeting. Echoing the work of Richard Curtis, Steinbeis brings a typically British sensibility to the humour in her debut short, something which is always a pleasure to watch when done as deftly as it is here. Dn is delighted to premiere From A Strange Land film on our pages today alongside a deep dive with Steinbeis on her journey from theatre to film, the filmmaking lessons she learnt on set,...
