Two Gates of Sleep Alistair Banks Griffin

The Gist: When Jack’s mother turns up dead at the edge of a field near his rural home, he and his brother set out on an arduous journey to fulfill her last wish…(more)

Cast: Brady Corbet, Karen Young and David Call.

Why is it on the list?Most recently invited to the NYFF 08’s with his short Gauge, Griffin appears to be part of a collective of filmmakers worth keeping a very close eye on. There’s an inkling of Terrence Malick and more recent examples such Ballast and Shotgun Stories (guns/open fields) and that’s enough to get me interested.

Release Date/Status?: A major European film festival such as Cannes is likely.
