GRAVITY WAS EVERYWHERE BACK THEN

  • Brent Green

A car accident brings Leonardt and Mary together forever. He hangs the sun, moon and stars in front of his self-built house and grows flowers for her. But then Mary is diagnosed with cancer. Leonardt does not want to lose his wife and, full of hope for a miracle, makes a desperate attempt: with his own hands, the tinkerer and craftsman converts his house into a healing machine.

Fascinated by the true story of his neighbor Leonardt Wood, Brent Green rebuilt Leonardt's house in his own backyard after it had been demolished and shot Gravity was Everywhere Back Then in it. A beguiling vision of live action and stop motion, an ode to the luminosity of love, faith and art - Frank Capra without a happy ending. Brent Green, born in 1978, is a visual artist who lives and works in Cressona, Pennsylvania. The self-taught animator's short films have been shown at numerous film festivals (e.g. Sundance Film Festival, 2006-2009) and in major museums (MoMA, Getty Center, Warhol Museum, etc.).
