Yo (Love is a Rebellious Bird) | Saturday 10:00am - 11:30am

YO (LOVE IS A REBELLIOUS BIRD). Directed by Anna Fitch & Banker White. After losing an older and beloved friend, filmmaker Anna Fitch spends a decade obsessively building a detailed, scale version of her friend Yo’s house in her studio. It's just big enough for Anna to squeeze through the doors and Inside lives a 20inch puppet of Yo. The film juxtaposes intimate vérité of Yo's last year with Anna's creative interpretations of her stories. In this magical place their relationship continues. Yo tells Anna tales spanning eight decades and three continents with uncommon, fearless honesty. Born in Switzerland in 1924, Yo lived life on her own terms, defying expectations around sexuality, mothering, aging, and even death. The film blurs memory, time and invention, revealing creation as an outlet for grief and love.

Pre-Recorded Q&A with the directors following the film.

Winner of the 2026 Silver Bear for Outstanding Artist Contribution at Berlinale.
