Geist Zeit

Geist Zeit is a visual poem about loss, fragmented memory, and transcendental womanhood. Captured on 16mm, this short, experimental film speaks through the contemplative reflections of a girl mourning her grandmother. We travel with her on a physical journey that mirrors the stages of grief and the cycle of life after death. Surrounding her in nature and lingering in the objects and clothes that are left behind, she wonders if our artifacts grant us all something close to an eternal life.
