A Good Place To End
The short film's narrative of fear ties landscape to character: "A Good Place To End" is a tale of orientation and disorientation. A teenage girl on a quest, a hunter trying to protect the area, and a woman sick of waiting, all wander their uncanny village, the surrounding countryside and the nearby dark forest. The three characters cross each other, but never really meet. Jozefien Van der Aelst's exploration of spatial narrativity delves into the interconnectedness of space and narrative. By intertwining the physical environment with the emotional landscapes of her characters, she orchestrates a symphony of sensory experiences that challenge our perception of storytelling itself.
