Where Are the Wild Things?

An experimental film exploring the dissonance between the romanticization of natural landscapes and the reality of a technological and modern world. Filmed in the forests and fjords surrounding Oslo, Norway, this film juxtaposes idyllic, untouched, “natural” landscapes with moments from my day to day life in the cityscape of Oslo and cyberspaces online in order to challenge notions of Norwegian romanticism and nationalism in relation to nature. Made by screenprinting iPhone footage and found videos onto strips of 16mm film with acrylic and bleach, then combining the screenprinted frames with 16mm filmed footage of Norwegian forests.

Early morning silence is broken by screeching tires as a helicopter bears down on a speeding vehicle. Taking a quick corner, the team tumbles out into the woods as their car pulls away. Now they must make their way through the thick of nature and thick gunfire to accomplish their mission. Not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the entire film. Instead, the music, sounds, images and deeply truthful acting turn a simple plot into an intense experience. Passion and intrigue keep building to the very end.
