Norwegian Nature, Suburbia and the Creatures Living There

 

Rolf Christian Heldal
United Kingdom /2022 / 0:14:59


Somewhere in Norway nature awakens. A human-like Creature emerges from the deep forest. With every footstep it draws further into suburbia, taking the sonic perspective of an alien explorer venturing into uncharted land.
"Norwegian nature, suburbia and the Creatures living there” is a flow of cinematic movement and sound. An allegory existing within a loose, experimental framework. The film has no dialogue, but opts instead to tell its story through the juxtaposition of image and sound design .
