Conference-Debate: The art of crafting an ending in cinema

The Art of crafting a film’s Ending: "And they lived happily ever after… But is it that simple?"

Some movie endings move us deeply, others leave us questioning, and a few stay with us forever. Why? What makes a film’s conclusion resonate so powerfully? And most importantly, how do directors and screenwriters construct these pivotal moments in cinema?
