The film adaptation of Space//Space, Jason Craig's claustrophobic and existential play set in a space capsule, will premiere January 14, 2023 at 7:00 PM at the Anthology Film Archives. An encore screening on January 15 at 1:30 PM will also be offered, and artist talkbacks will be held after each screening. Watch a trailer for the upcoming release above.
The film, which reimagines the piece in the context of the COVID-19 lockdown, serves as a video document of two brothers trapped together in a space capsule, isolated in an increasingly pressurized environment. As the context of the play degrades, the film transforms into the story of a married couple trying desperately to co-exist, while the artists grapple with their sense of purpose and preservation.
Co-written for the screen by Craig and Alex Harvey, Space//Space is directed by writer Harvey (Walden: Life in the Woods, I Am a Seagull, The Unsilent Picture), and stars Jessica Jelliffe (Yale Repertory鈥檚 Fairytale Lives of Russian Girls, Botch, Shadows) and writer Jason Craig.
The 2012 theatrical production of Space//Space played a three-week run at The Collapsable Hole in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The production was supported in part by the New York State Council on the Arts鈥� Individual Artist Commission.
The production team for Space//Space features cinematography by Miklos Buk (Come Find Me, Walden: A Life in the Woods), editing and sound design by Alex Harvey and production design by Banana Bag & Bodice. Space//Space is produced by Series Fest award-winning Anne Troup (Human Interest), Jessica Jelliffe, Jason Craig and Alex Harvey.
