RIDDANCE
Riddance is a provocative short film that explores the harrowing theme of domestic violence through a unique and abstract lens. The filmmakers sought to craft a narrative that is both unsettling and enigmatically obscure, pushing the boundaries of conventional storytelling. Written by Valentina Schwendinger and Davide Cantelmo, the script is a bold adaptation of Pearl Cleage's stage play Blues for an Alabama Sky.
