Postcard from a
Place called Grief

by Bram Lattré

TRANSFER invites a selection of filmmakers worldwide to share their personal view of the changes both in domestic and public space, in the present circumstances. The video essay by Bram Lattré for TRANSFER NEXT features the stopped present by means of visits to a series of playgrounds. Depicting a public space in Ghent, the short film refers to similar conditions in other public spaces around the world. Like a collection of postcards of familiar places, Lattré poetically describes the suddenly interrupted use of leisure amenities, waiting for life to return.
