Magnus - A Sping Day |

Magnus Lilleberg
Norway
2013 / 0:18:00
We join Magnus Lilleberg on an intimate journey into his everyday life as a heroin addict in the capital of Norway. He films himself with his hand-held camera and he describes a tough reality without demanding compassion in return. Heroin addicts are often perceived as a homogeneous group who, in a serious way, are outcasts from general society. Magnus wants to change this picture, and to specify that heroin addicts take heroin because they have to - it is their medicine. In partnership with Munin Film, Magnus filmed and documented his daily life since fall of 2011. The film got the name "Magnus - a spring day" and in addition to directing and filming, Magnus also made the music and the graphic expression of the film.

"The Pyramidical Silence" is a geological science-fiction movie describing the decay of mountains in connection to the decay of the entire cosmos, the end of cosmos, when everything has gone from order to chaos and the time is repealed. The presence of man is described in a geological timescale; they are alien visitors which through strange instruments are trying to understand their surroundings. The existence of man is compared to the life span of a mountain. The film describe the mountain's exceptional, but incomprehensible intellect as it apparently does nothing to prove, and that we as humans will never be able to fully understand. Like the incomprehensible remnants of lost civilizations.

October 10th - 20th 2013
We present film series focused on different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes..
