🎻 Don’t Go Where I Cant Find You
Dir. Rioghnach Ni Ghrioghair

Crediting The Piano Teacher, Phantom Thread, The Duke of Burgundy and David Lynch as influences, Ní Ghrioghair shared with us, when we asked about the inspiration behind the film, that “the idea of a haunted composer had been worming its way around my brain for a few years”. From the very beginning she knew she wanted to create the film as an experience where she would “immerse the audience in a feeling of unease, dread and anxiety, and take them on a journey through all elements of music, sound, imagery, and mood”.
The genre dimension of the film, with the presence of the lover’s ghost, combines with the tension of the psychological thriller to cleverly depict Margaret’s intertwined grief and guilt visually, and compellingly for the viewer. Everything that went into each frame, from the costumes to the set design and cinematography makes every single image gorgeous and beguiling, while carrying an emotional weight magnified by the intense and gripping sound design. – S/W Curator, Céline Roustan
