The history of art is a rapidly growing itinerary of movements and fads that is only accelerating. Art got conceptual, and now it is easily and frequently decoupled from concepts like “beauty”, “spirituality”, or “awe”. In the Space Between Ages, directed by Travis Lee Ratcliff, follows sculptor Dony Mac Manus who rejects contemporary art in favour of classical techniques and aesthetics. With an unconventional narrative structure that digs deeper than most short profile docs, the 9 min film delves into a contemplation of time and freedom, and questions where we fit into these bigger concepts. Compelling, vivid and enlightening, In The Space Between Ages is a fine piece of work, which not only inspires the viewer, but, in this case, the director himself, making it a deeply personal and career-changing project.
