A Place in the Cosmos

About This Movie

So, there's this film called 'A Place in the Cosmos' from 2020. It’s a documentary, but it feels a bit like a dream or a trance. Shot on Super 8mm, which is really neat, it has this grainy, almost ethereal quality that adds to its unique vibe. The setting—this full-scale concrete version of Stonehenge in rural New Zealand—isn’t just a backdrop but a character itself, acting as an observatory and this strange portal. The pacing is meditative, letting you get lost in the cosmic rhythms it explores. It doesn’t rush you; it invites you to linger on the visuals and the themes of space and time. Honestly, it’s a fascinating take, blending science fiction motifs with a very tangible, almost tactile experience.
