Love Story sees filmmaker Florian Habicht finding a movie, a plot, and a beautiful Ukranian, on the streets of New York. The off-beat romance is part love letter to NYC, part the story of Florian and Masha, and possibly even part true: with the script to this genre-bending tryst being written before our eyes, thanks to story input from real-life New Yorkers. Love Story won Aotearoa awards for best film and director, and raves from the Herald’s Peter Calder, who noted festival audiences gasping at the "strange, surprising and wildly romantic ideas sprinkled through it".

Love Story This is an opportunity to see another side of New York. The authentic and the eccentric with many words of wisdom coming from unlikely scources, the voices of ordinary New Yorkers. The film combines courage and naivity with extraordinary glimpses of intimacy as Florian, both the director and the star, becomes perhaps more involved than he had desired or expected. Wondered afterwards how the stockbroker felt if /when she saw the movie Love Story transported me to the real New York.
