Back and Forth 2021

Directed by Gijs Roozen · Documentary · 22 min

Heen En Weer (Back And Forth) is a short documentary about loss, loneliness and silence. In this documentary I tell the story of a ferryman that just lost his wife. Instead of seeking diversion with other people he tries to embrace silence and solitude. For this documentary I applied elements of slow cinema trough long static wide takes. With this I hoped to let the audience experience a similar feeling solitude or loneliness.
