SYNOPSIS

At the last performance of his dance school, Edvin, a young dancer can't appreciate the applauds together with his ensemble. His father has recently passed away and has left a void in his heart. But by talking to his grandma he can reminisce about the past and is reminded that no one is really gone as long as their memory lives on inside you. "BLANK SPACE" is a movie that contemplates how loss and grief can overtake you but also act as a transformative force in the creation of an artist.

DIRECTOR'S VISION

I want to draw attention to the emptiness you feel after a loved one has passed away, break-up or a separation. How the blank space left by someone can feel limitless. But in that space there lies the reverberations of that person, which can act as a catalyst for you to reach out of that void and achive greatness.

The expriance of someone close to me passing away has change me as a filmmaker - and my hope is that this film can express how loss always can be a creative engine in the .making of an artist For me “BLANK SPACE” is a tribute to my father who passed away in 2021
