Ghostnote is a speculative short fiction, unfolding within the quiet, uncanny routines of a support call center employee. Constrained between her home-office, the view to other apartment buildings and her screens, a young woman works the nightshift. Calls come in about a recurring event, but her answers never reveal what happened, rather that something did, repeatedly, over the last days. In between calls, she sends voicememos to her friend, thoughts on who she should become drift between her professional persona and her private self, a billboard dangles dreams before her hungry eyes.
I discovered this short film by chance while wandering around Paris, in the heart of the exhibition Un soleil à peine voilé, which showcases several very talented artists. I sat down, curious and captivated by the images flashing across the screen where the film was playing on a loop. I was not disappointed! Bravo to artist Megan Bruinen and her team!
