Death Cafe
From director Austin Salt-Cowell, this short documentary explores the bizarre, yet supportive role of a Death Cafe, where strangers meet to discuss all forms of life and death, to form some closure about their recently-departed loved-ones.

The Renaissance was a period of cultural and artistic rebirth out of a so-called “Dark Age.” Spawning from my ancestral homeland in Italy, it saw a renewed interest in the classic, a global-minded curiosity, and an embrace of all things human. It was an era when art and science not only complemented each other, they mixed seamlessly; and having a vested passion for any and all fields was the norm. It was, as scholars have put it, “an intellectual and artistic revolution.”

Loved this, really interesting look at a rarely-discussed-topic. I only wanted it to be longer and to go more in-depth with the characters and ideas, but short and sweet worked well too. Also, beautifully shot. Looking forward to whatever the next one will be!
