The Grave's Sky

About this movie

Rotterdam regular John Gianvito (Vapor Trail (Clark), IFFR 2010) checks in with a sensitive, homebound film diary recorded in the pandemic years 2020-2022. The watchful, wary stance of deer outside his house triggers a series of fragments associated with death, burial, mourning and care: Gianvito calls it 'a requiem'. Snatches of classic soundtracks (including Renoir's Partiede campagne, 1936) and glimpses of news broadcasts expand the private, intimate context.
