A CLOSER WALK WITH
Canada / USA, 2010, fiction, 12min, Colour, Mono
Synopsis:
Situated in the once spectacular, now long-abandoned Michigan Central Station, this short film wanders between the memory of individuals and the memory of a space. Ambiguity plays between a real encounter and an imaginative one.
Music plays a central role in the film, bridging the gap between different age, languages and time. Jazz funeral melodies meander through the melancholic architecture into the realm between life and death…
The title is adapted from the New Orleans funeral song “Just a Closer Walk With Thee”.
