Yony Leyser, director of the documentary William S. Burroughs: A Man Within, which we screened during The 8th Berlin International Directors Lounge, is back with a new project:Desire will set you free, his second feature film, is based on a true story, and at times traveling into the realm of docufiction. The plot follows the relationship of an American writer of Israeli/Palestinian descent and a Russian aspiring artist working as a hustler, offering access to the city’s vibrant queer and underground scenes while examining the differences between expatriate and refugee life.
To set the film free Yony needs your support.
