Written and directed by Sacha Polak, the movie stars Vicky Knight, Esmé Creed-Miles, Charlotte Knight, Archie Brigden, and Angela Bruce.

"Everyone makes mistakes... Let go of that ball of anger that's holding you back..." Dark Star Pictures has revealed the US trailer for a sapphic indie film titled Silver Haze, from a Dutch filmmaker named Sacha Polak, though it takes place in England following a young woman who lives in East London.

Silver Haze
For her fourth feature film, Dutch filmmaker Sacha Polak appears to be moving into an area that blurs the lines – promising “a fictional story with documentary components.” Returning to the Berlinale next month for a third time, Polak’s 2012 debut Hemel was followed by 2015’s Zurich and 2019’s Dirty God (Sundance’s World Cinema Dramatic Competition selection and Rotterdam).
