A Sunday in Portsmouth

Sigurd Kølster

‘A Sunday in Portsmouth’ is a lyrical journey through a quiet night, where mysterious and magical forces are unleashed. The football agent Thorsten meets Matilda who is half his age. They are traveling on a ferry from France to the habour town, Portsmouth in England. Matilda is in distress so Thorsten wants to help, but really it is just as much he himself who is in trouble. Their meeting is part awkward, part tender. But despite seemingly very different, the two share something. A feeling that connects them for a brief moment in time. A moment that seems to attract magical forces. ‘A Sunday in Portsmouth’ is Sigurd Kølster's director’s cut version of his graduation film from the National Film & Television School. It stars Swedish actor Simon J. Berger and Scottish actress Sorcha Groundsell. The short film is a poetic and quiet depiction of the acceptance of loss, with a cinematic language based on magical realism. Its finale is a wordless and musical depiction of coming into contact with trauma. Slowly opening up to feelings that have been hidden away. As the last step before a healing process can begin. MORE

EVA – a Visual Essay on the Female Body

Emma Kristine Sylvest Ishøy

‘EVA’ is a visualization of women's self-perception as a result of their bodily experiences. It illustrates what it’s like to be a woman and to have a female body in the Western world – about the complexities and the contrasts; about being the subject of societal surveillance; and about learning to love and accept oneself. While ‘EVA’ is a tribute to the diversity of the female body, and to the vulnerabilities and strengths of women, the short film is also a testimony and a call to look at the woman differently – in a different light. In ‘EVA’, you’re invited to look beyond the preconceived notions and cultural assumptions that you have about the female body. You have to see the female body for what it is – and hear about it for what it does, and for what it’s capable of. MORE

Art Chooses Us

Tomas Kamphuis

Four African artists from four different countries practicing four different crafts contemplate on what it means to be an artist. Art Chooses Us poetically captures reflections on the African art scene through the eyes of four African artists. Most art from or about Africa highlights the sorrow and suffering of the continent and its people, thereby reinforcing the negative image generally depicted by mainstream news media. Though this image is certainly justified by Africa's harsh, daily realities and its problematic past, it also fixes the continent in an undeserved cliché of powerlessness and lack of agency and, consequently fails to tell the whole story of Africa, which just as much involves strength, optimism, and hope for the future, particularly among younger generations. The work of these four artists is fierce, stylish, beautiful, imaginative, poetic, sometimes even funny and entertaining, and at the same time strongly connected to their everyday reality with all its ups and downs, to their past and to their imagined future. Ultimately, Art Chooses Us is a documentary that shows artists who could shape an alternative narrative about Africa, more positive and uplifting than is generally told. MORE

Lay Me by the Shore

David Findlay

Lay Me by the Shore' follows a week in the life of a trans boy in his final days of school as he comes to terms with his best friend’s recent passing. Exploring the raw, potent emotions of youth through the prism of grief, the film lends an empathetic eye on a young person’s very immediate but suppressed emotions. Drenched in the warm light of long June days and with the intimidating spectre of an uncertain future looming, the tale is told from the perspective of the recently deceased — an omniscient and benevolent presence.
