As Above, So Below
A poetic reflection on sovereignty, perspective, space and futurisms.
Director: Sarah Francis
Overview
The elements here are swings, a vast landscape, queues waiting for nothing in particular, a strangely soothing voice, and the moon is the main protagonist. A lunar meditation and a statement on play and formalism, Sarah Francis’ debut feature is a stunning visual experience that manages to create a spectacular cinematic universe out of very limited resources.
