The Ground poster

Released in 2001, The Ground is a notable film directed by Robert Beavers.

What it’s about. What lives in the space between the stones, in the space cupped between my hand and my chest? Filmmaker/stonemason. A tower or ruin of remembrance. With each swing of the hammer I cut into the image and the sound rises from the chisel. A rhythm, marked by repetition, and animated by variation; strokes of hammer and fist, resounding in dialogue. In this space which the film creates, emptiness gains a contour strong enough for the spectator to see more than the image – a space permitting vision in addition to sight.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.9/10, The Ground has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
