The Liminal Movies

Liminal movies explore the ‘in-between’ spaces that are often transitionary or transformative.
These films capture moments and places that evoke a sense of eeriness, nostalgia, and otherworldliness.
They make us feel both familiar and strange, immersing us in the atmosphere of the uncanny and the surreal.
Through settings like deserted streets, empty buildings, and twilight zones, liminal movies take us on a journey through spaces that challenge our perception of reality and time.
