AN OPEN FIELD | IDFA Award for Best Short Documentary
-
Sun 25 Jan
What they find is a community in which mourning is an important part of the culture. Just as for the Edkins family, the lives of the villagers have also been turned upside down by the crash. In a deeply moving experience, they discover that the community members who welcome them regard the crash victims as visiting guests, whom they have taken into their hearts as brothers and sisters.
Their compassion contrasts starkly with the calculating stance of airplane manufacturer Boeing. As if attempting somehow to connect with his brother’s spirit, the filmmaker immerses himself in the sounds of the disaster site.
Winnaar van de IDFA Award voor beste korte documentaire 2025.
