Test Piece
20m

Kersti Jan Werdal’s Test Piece critically examines the art of filmmaking as a synthesis of conceptual construction and intricate editing. Inspired by Straub-Huillet, the film deconstructs the fundamental elements of film, image, sound, and text, to create a space for reflection and thought rather than conventional narrative explanation or emotional immersion.
