“A skillfully edited fever dream that blends the chaos of sound/music with a crush of imagery.”
— Greg Hamilton, DIrector of Documentary Programs - Montana International Film Festival
space: A Meditation on the Meaning of Art
is a feature documentary that asks (and maybe answers) the question, "Why make art?" When his landlord sets out to convert an aging industrial complex into art studios, filmmaker Poulshock is invited to make a film about the three-year construction project. But three years turn into eight as their journey becomes a deep dive into humankind's quest for meaning. Space is a film about space. About the artists who inhabit it. And the art they create in it. It’s about chaos, beauty, wonder, shock, creation. Disruption, gentrification, politics, bureaucracy. And the healing power of art.
