Existential depth of motives strenghtened by unbearably slow narration rate is present in the work together with ironic distance to horror genre. Inherency of these lines implicates provocative imbalance and strangly ambivalent spectating experience.

LIVING ROOM
“Our pseudo-lives were nothing but speech bubbles. We desecrated everything. […] We ground [it all] to dust,” says Vít Soukup as the pessimist Drudge in the series Old Mates. His approach to films was similar. He made works full of ironic references to high culture and low, and enjoyed using clichés in their raw state.
Artist Sissel Mutale Bergh describes her latest film, Elmie (2023) – a Southern Sámi word meaning sky, air and storm – as a documentary poem and a lamentation on air, breath, birds, mountains and wind power. For several years, Bergh has followed the construction of – and opposition to – industrial windfarms at Fovsen/Fosen in the southern district of reindeer herding at ÅerjelFovsen Njaarke Sijte.
