Grounded

Posted on September 19, 2012September 19, 2012 by Chris McQuillan

This is just mind-bending.

Kevin Margo’s stylish and trippy sci-fi short film is winning all sorts of accolades at the moment.  It’s beautifully presented, and equally as frustrating as you try and get your head around the meaning – if there even is one definitive truth behind it.

[quote]One astronaut’s journey through space and life ends on a hostile exosolar planet. Grounded is a metaphorical account of the experience, inviting unique interpretation and reflection by the viewer. Themes of aging, inheritance, paternal approval, cyclic trajectories, and behaviors passed on through generations are explored against an ethereal backdrop.[/quote]

Watch this.

    These short webisodes and films that are becoming increasingly popular online may be a reflection of our dwindling attention spans, but you could flip the coin around and ask whether poems are just a lazy man’s novels? They’re not, they’re a very different art form, and the more this type of thing flourishes, the better.
