Somewhere in Norway nature awakens. A human-like Creature emerges from the deep forest. With every footstep it draws nearer, towards suburbia and the unsuspecting people living there. “Norwegian nature, suburbia and the Creatures living there” is a flow of cinematic movement and sound, an allegory existing within a loose, experimental narrative.
[Director Statement]
The starting point in making this film was an observation; the works of art that have influenced me the most, be it films, books, music or paintings, are the ones that let me be part of it, those who included me in the experience and invited me in.
Umberto Eco touches upon something similar in his book “The Open Work». Eco defines a work as «open» when it comes alive between the work itself and the audience. The strength of an «open work», according to Eco, is that meaning can not easily be defined, there are a multitude of interpretations and the experience will be different depending on the viewer. «Open works» tends to have a loose structure and, most importantly, the audience themselves must join together the fragments to create meaning. A personal and individual meaning.
Hence, the film presented here, “Norwegian nature, suburbia and the Creatures living there”, is experimental and allegorical by design. My goal, wish and hope for the film is for it to serve as an engaging mental framework that invites the viewer in, opening up for a multitude of thoughts, interpretations and reflections.
