'WILT THOU FORGIVE'
(2008) Directed & Written by Stefana Brancastle: An unsettling, true story set in 1728 London, this short film tells the tale of a young woman forced to commit an irreversible act of justice out of love.
'Wilt Thou Forgive' - a true tale of love versus justice.
'Wilt Thou Forgive' is an immediate example of Stefana Brancastle's unique directorial style & signature.
The dominant sombre, minimalist colour palette, contrasted with bright light, cutting across from a window above, invites the audience to enter the dark sides of the human psyche. Questioning the true nature of 'right' & 'wrong', of stolen innocence and painful secrets, the film looks at the struggle for freedom from abuse and for forgiveness from guilt. Inspired by true events from 1728, this short period family drama unveils facts that lead a young mother to commit an altruistic, violent act to protect her child.
