A smorgasbord of film and great experiences in Malmö 2015

welcome

On behalf of Nordisk Panorama, the City of Malmö and Film in Skåne we welcome you to the 26th Nordisk Panorama – Nordic Short and Doc Film Festival. With this new partnership it is our plan to continue to deliver content that will satisfy your most delicate taste ‘buds’ as well as surprise you with great new stuff that might even catch you off guard for a moment.

We have prepared a Smorgasbord of captivating films, strong stories, braincrunching seminars, nerve-racking pitches, exciting meetings, cool receptions and great parties for you all to be engaged in and to enjoy in a fine spirit of sharing and collaboration.

This is our third year in Malmö after it became the new permanent home of our festival. Our roots are growing deeper into the local soil through many valuable partnerships with the sole purpose of extending this value to you over these six days of the film festival.

Filmmaking is a creative process involving both fun and hard work. It is often about overcoming obstacles and yet maintaining a creative vision from the first ideas until the film meets its audience.

4

It is about taking inspiration and sometimes allowing yourselves to be thrown off by disruptive new ideas as you qualify your project. It is also about getting people on board with your project, landing money and building the network to realize it.

Nordisk Panorama – Nordic Short and Doc Film Festival in Malmö 2015 wants to give you the opportunity to get the ball rolling, while you are enjoying a great deal of fun and shared moments with your professional network and the film audience.

We strive to remain a special and valuable hotspot for Nordic and international film collaboration. We might not be the biggest event among festivals, but we are dedicated to giving you a festival where ambition and friendliness walk hand in hand as we encourage a sharing attitude.

We serve you a carefully prepared programme of competition films representing a Nordic Panorama striving for one of our three Awards for Best Documentary, Best Short and Best New Nordic Voice.

In addition to the competition films we have a large selection of films in our Special Programmes, which aim to explore themes and subject matter that revealed themselves during the programming process and include films that need to be seen in addition to the films in the competition.

We also give you the colourful and friendly city of Malmö, which is exercising a strong and progressive regional film strategy and offers great cinemas and venues, making Malmö an attractive event and festival city that also hosts an international children’s film festival and Malmö Arab Film Festival among an abundance of other cultural activities.

So please take the opportunity to enjoy the city, enjoy the variety of films and special sessions prepared for you while exploiting all present opportunities to get the ball rolling with your professional and creative visions for filmmaking.

We are here to assist, inspire and help your process along with the sole purpose of making you better at what you do, while enjoying it. See you at the festival!

Nordisk Panorama has been putting a focus on short and doc film from the Nordic countries for more than 25 years.

The festival was travelling between the Nordic countries for 23 years until it settled permanently in Malmรถ, Sweden in 2013.

not only to develop the festival event and build an engaged audience in the region, but also to develop new ways of promoting Nordic films and facilitating the process of filmmaking and to facilitate from the early stages to the end users in a fast-changing market.

In our effort to know and convey the different Nordic pockets of talent we are introducing a new national focus on one of the Nordic countries each year.

Knowing the territory and the players in it is key to unlocking the true potential of the Nordic filmmakers community. In our effort to know and convey the different Nordic pockets of talent we are introducing a new national focus on one of the Nordic countries each year.

Having settled the festival here in Malmรถ and our continued networking and matchmaking efforts to improve conditions for filmmakers all year round have put us in a strong position

Starting with Iceland this year. Next year Norway is in focus, then Denmark, Finland and Sweden will complete the circle in 2019.

Maja Lindquist It’s been a great pleasure to put this year’s festival together with such fantastic programmers from near and far – Canada, Iceland and Lebanon – and to collaborate with filmmakers from all of the Nordic countries. I am amazed by the quality and diversity of the films and the passion of their makers.

I strongly believe in the power of documentaries and shorts to inspire change on a personal, as well as a broader social level. This year’s festival programme reflects the world in which we live and aims to challenge audiences’ ingrained perceptions and to inspire action. It also celebrates love and friendship, the beauty of life and the art of filmmaking.

I hope you find the screenings, master classes and seminars both relevant and exciting, packed with timely topics and artistic innovation. Last but not least I wish you a wonderful time in Malmö and hope to see you in the cinemas and on the dance floor!

Angie Driscoll You would think that 12 years of programming at festivals as diverse as Hot Docs, TIFF, the CFC’s Worldwide Short Film Festival and Aspen Shortsfest would have prepared me for the mind-blowing quality of the Nordisk Panorama submissions. But no. In my entire career I have never been more stimulated and challenged than by the task to select the best shorts from the five Nordic countries. I thought I knew certain

things about my chosen vocation and how to evaluate excellence, but the Scandinavians schooled me! Nordic films are world-class, pioneering, and abundant. The shorts in competition and across the various special programmes are just the tip of the iceberg.

Visit the NP Market and see for yourselves, there is a deep pool of tremendous, festivalready films that we simply could not programme that I look forward to seeing on screens around the world!

Janus Bragi Jakobsson As an Icelandic documentary filmmaker and programmer for the Skjaldborg Festival, programming the Icelandic Focus has been pure pleasure mixed with a feeling of overwhelming responsibility, what to choose from Icelandic culture and cinema that we want to be highlighted? Fortunately, we Icelanders are a nostalgic bunch, fond of looking back at our achievements and origins.

Iceland has produced many documentaries and shorts that address our battle with the elements and ourselves, and somehow that strikes a chord with audiences all over the world.

Hungarian writer Milan Kundera once defined a small nation as “one whose very existence may be put in question at any moment; a small nation can disappear, and it knows it.” Maybe that is the reason why Icelanders see themselves as a storytelling nation - our stories do more than represent us, they sustain and preserve us.

In Dependence Yläkerran Tuula

Denmark, USA, UK / 2014 / documentary / 100 min

”It’s hard to stand by and watch your spouse drink himself to death. It is not easy to pack up and leave either.”

Tuula is trapped in an unhealthy, co-dependent relationship and she knows it. And yet she stays. Filmmaker Henriikka Hemmi documents her middle-aged neighbours as they struggle, one day at a time, against the riptide of alcoholism, barely treading water while trying to avoid circling the proverbial drain. Tuula’s efforts to remain sober and support her alcoholic husband, are shown via video diary entries and capture the sloppy, frustrating, repetitive cycle of relapse and recovery. In Dependence is an unflinching portrait of addiction that sheds light on the personalities and patterns that perpetuate the vicious circle.

Director Camilla Nielsson is given enviable access to Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe’s political inner circle as a new constitution is drafted, negotiated and signed into law.

Democrats shows the back-and-forth battles between Douglas Mwonzora and Paul Mangwana, sworn political enemies who must work together for the common good as they produce a document to steer the country towards democracy. Their negotiations are anything but easy and everything from violent protests, dull meetings, inter-party politics and media leaks conspire to derail the process. A suspenseful observation of two rivals forced to collaborate and the democratic process in Zimbabwe – rife with sabotage, disruption and intimidation.

Norway / 2014 / documentary / 57 min

Iceland, UK / 2015 / documentary / 74 min

A group of highly motivated animal rights activists have worked tirelessly for years to expose the true face of the Nordic fur industry. Year after year, they sneak into hundreds of fur farms, release disturbing images of the conditions they find, and ignite a media firestorm of consumer outrage and public debate.

The controversy always dies down after a time, and the fur industry picks back up where it left off. No harm, no foul.

No substantial, systemic, lasting changes ever seem to take hold. Until now. Enter psychologist Frank Nervik, who announces his intention to become a fur farmer. He seeks training, learns all of the trade secrets and is accepted by the industry as one of its own. Unbeknownst to anyone however, he has been filming his entire apprenticeship with a hidden camera ...

Kitty Von-Sometime is a British artist living in Iceland, making art but very little money. Best known for her “Weird Girls Project”, an ongoing art event and video project that employs sequined leotards and choreographed dances to promote selfconfidence and positive body image in women, I Want To Be Weird follows Kitty’s daily efforts to make ends meet.

The life of a working artist is not always glamourous and Kitty shares the nitty-gritty truth of what makes her tick and what ticks her off. Behind-the-scenes access to her body of work provides a rare glimpse into Kitty’s creative process as she talks about her inspirations and influences, persistent financial insecurity and issues specific to female filmmakers in this elucidating artist profile.

The Man Who Saved the World The Man Who Saved the World

Maiko – Dancing Child Maikos dans

Denmark, Sweden, Latvia / 2014 / documentary, fiction / 105 min

Norway / 2014 / documentary / 70 min

On September 26, 1983, sensors indicated that American missiles had been launched against the Soviet Union.

Russian Lt. Colonel Stanislav E. Petrov ignored the state-ofthe-art instruments, followed his gut and declared a false alarm, essentially sparing the world a nuclear holocaust.

Decades later, Petrov travels to the United States to accept an award from the United Nations for his historical contribution.

But he is more interested in meeting actors Robert DeNiro and Kevin Costner than in being rewarded. The Man Who Saved the World seamlessly mixes fact and fiction to create an historical thriller and personal redemption story more impressive than any Hollywood blockbuster. This real-life action hero reminds us how close we came to a third world war, and what the loss of billions of lives might still look and feel like.

Maiko Nishino’s destiny was determined before she was even born. Her mother named her Maiko, meaning dancing child, and was the driving force behind her daughter’s dancing dreams. She sacrificed everything, selling the car, then the house to finance 14-year-old Maiko’s ballet training in Europe.

Now a successful soloist with the Norwegian National Ballet, Maiko is a 32-year-old prima ballerina at the top of her game.

Maiko has achieved a great deal, but maintaining her position in the company does not come easy. Proving her talent, honing her skills and fending off rival dancers for plum roles is a full-time job. Maiko is at a crossroads, she is ready to start a family, but is unwilling to give up the career that has cost her everything. Can she have a child and still make a comeback?

The Look of Silence The Look of Silence

Pervert Park Pervert Park

Denmark, Indonesia, Norway / 2014 / documentary / 99 min

Sweden, Denmark / 2014 / documentary / 75 min

The Look of Silence is a powerful companion piece to The Act of Killing, director Joshua Oppenheimer’s Oscar®-nominated documentary about the Indonesian genocide of the 1960s.

Through Oppenheimer’s footage, a family of survivors discovers how their son was murdered, as well as the identities of his killers. But knowing is not enough for Adi, the family’s youngest son and optometrist brother of the victim. A haunting film that searches for answers where there are none, and attempts to break the suffocating spell of submission and terror ingrained in an amnesic society. In a country where the murderers remain in political power, Adi does the unthinkable, and confronts the men who killed his brother and asks them to accept responsibility.

In the state of Florida, even the most minor sexual offense will make you a social outcast. Regardless of the sex crime, ex-convicts are not permitted to live within 1,000 feet of places frequented by children, which makes a place like Florida Justice Transitions a veritable sanctuary. A trailer park that houses 120 sex offenders that no one wants as neighbours is an anomaly and the only housing of its kind in the United States. Following the daily lives of the men and women that call the trailer park home, Pervert Park tackles the most taboo topics, attempts to understand who the residents are and how the vicious cycle of sexual abuse and predation might be broken with rehabilitation and reintegration.

A surprising and staggering work of empathy.

Some call them artists, others call them anarchists.

They call themselves soldiers, with the sole purpose of leaving their mark on the world. They would rather you hate them than ignore them, because “those who are not seen are not remembered.” A revolution erupts in São Paulo, led by Brazilian graffiti activists desperate for a voice.

They free-climb skyscrapers, surf moving trains and document their tagging, not as trophies, but as proof of life.

Graffiti is an existential act to them. Period. With no aesthetic value, just political meaning. They strive to be seen and heard. And in no time they are, going from anonymous to recognizable in an instant, attracting attention from the international art and advertising worlds. A beguiling look at politics and performance, being known and being famous.

Hiphop dancers Martha Nabwire and Niki Tsappos vie for the Juste Debout title in Paris - international street dancing’s highest honour. If they win, it will mark the first time ever that two women reign as world champions. Can the close friends blow the competition away with their moves? Will their friendship endure the highs and lows of winning and losing? A film that goes deeper than dance, Martha & Niki explores how different people express themselves, and the various ways ideas, experiences and souls are articulated. Niki prefers words, asking questions and talking out problems, while Martha’s mode of communication is through dance, her desires and yearning evident through gesture and movement.

A poetic look at pain that can’t be named and the things we leave unsaid.

After the awakening of the so-called New Women’s Movement (aka Second Wave Feminism) in the 1970s, feminism assumed various shapes and strategies as it spread throughout the Nordic countries. Some feminists chose to stick to their grassroots radicalism, while others infiltrated already established political parties and universities in order to create gender theory and equality. In Iceland, women decided to take the bull by the horns and launched head first into the political arena, creating the Women’s Alliance Party.

An empowering time capsule that chronicles the Party’s influential effect during the early 1980s and beyond and forever changed politics.

Finnish doctor Riitta has been working in Uganda for more than 25 years. Together with her great friend and colleague Catherine, she brings sex education to Ugandan villages, challenging priests, imams, wives and husbands to discuss women’s rights, reproduction, anatomy, sexuality and family planning. In ultra-conservative Uganda, Riitta and Catherine’s curriculum poses a political problem as well as a threat to power and patriarchy. The women soon come under fire and their entire life’s work helping to empower people through education is jeopardised. Leaving Africa is a remarkably heartwarming and harrowing film about an irresistible odd couple whose friendship is based on support, shared purpose and a quest to achieve gender equality in Africa.

Sweden, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Norway, France / 2015 / documentary / 83 min

With the introduction of armed drones, the War on Terror’s weapon of choice, the United States has created a terroristindustrial complex that is self-perpetuating. Making war is big business, but with the introduction of drones, an entirely new form of warfare is now being waged – one that involves remote pilots, videogame targeting and an utter lack of international legislation defining culpability, borders and rules of engagement. Using testimony from survivors, lawyers, pilots, military analysts and activists Drone explores a new instrument and style of surveillance and war, the legal and political ramifications of its implementation and the covert CIA operations taking place in Pakistan, where civilians live under constant threat of attack.

Twins Julia and Johanna arrive in the suburb of Rosengård in Malmö, Sweden from Azerbaijan, carrying unspeakable emotional baggage. The inseparable sisters curl up beside each other at night, fending off nightmares of abduction and abuse. They are survivors with an unbreakable bond that transcends trauma, and a striking symbiosis. The siblings promise to always be there for one another, but when Julia decides to get married, the young women fall out of copacetic communication. Their separation brings the past back into the present and forces them to confront who they are without the other. Are Johanna and Julia stronger together or apart?

Blood Sisters is exceedingly successful at portraying the sisters’ inner lives – their intimacy and isolation, their strength and shame.

Do we still need the Bechdel, which asks whether a film features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man? Behold, five films that go way beyond the Bechdel and that may very well blow the final whistle on movie misogyny.

A woman wearing a burqa, seeks help filing a complaint against her husband at a Copenhagen police station.

The translator twists her words, an annoyed cop misunderstands, and her own son edits her. An upsetting and unsettling snapshot of how easily a woman is silenced when no one wants to hear her truth, and the broken system that keeps a woman in her place.

Grandmother’s House blends documentary and dance, memory and movement, to create an exquisite and emotional tribute to a grandmother’s love. Making a house a home is presented as a familial fairy tale, which can’t be explained in words alone or contained by four walls. In the end, our homes reflect us, are possessed by us, take the shape of us and speak for us, in our absence.

Haru returns home post-tsunami. Instead of facing the ruin of his life, he immerses himself in complete denial and remains in a bubble for as long as possible. But the presence of a mysterious creature washed up and trapped inside his house can only be ignored for so long... Profound in its silence and surrealism, Tsunami is an elegant metaphor about wallowing in the depths and coping with disaster.

A couple living in a seaside village deals with the crushing noise, dust and disruption of giant machines that upturn cobblestones and run over cars in a massive reconstruction project aimed at building the town anew. The machines are harbingers of transformation and upheaval, for the city streets outside but also for the residents’ lives inside.

Two women from the same village in Kurdistan, who fled for very different reasons, are brought together in this transcendent documentary that explores community inclusion and exclusion. Filmmaker Nur Tutal fled with her family as a child from Kurdistan, while Rashan was cast out for being transgender. Rashan struggles on a daily basis to just be. Simply leaving the house leads to judgement, stares, hateful slurs and threats to her personal security.

By comparing and contrasting the discrimination and violence Rashan experiences as a transgender woman to the Kurdish genocide, Transphobia politicises gender in a completely novel way and highlights the contradiction of being an outcast in a persecuted minority.

Icelandic Retrospective

Icelandic Retro

A recurring theme in many Icelandic films is the nostalgic look at the outsider and his or her struggle to fit in, their role in society and the need to be accepted by the surroundings. Icelandic films and their slow paced, deadpan take on the islanders black humour and their superstition captures the essence of being Icelandic.

Icelandic films have gained recognition in recent years and Icelandic shorts have done amazingly well at festivals around the world and have been a stepping stone for its filmmakers on to bigger things.

For example such films as Rúnar Rúnarsson The Last Farm and Ísold Uggadóttir first short Family Reunion. Rúnarsson’s Volcano was wellreceived and Ísold Uggadóttir is filming her first feature this winter.

Icelandic documentaries come in all shapes and sizes, many of them employ a small crew and budget, while others are co-produced, filmed and edited by the director. As well, fantastic big-budget feature docs have emerged from Icelanders such as Þorfinnur Guðnason’s Dreamland and Friðrik Þór Friðriksson’s The Sunshine Boy. / Janus Bragi Jakobsson

Icelandic documentaries have earned great respect in recent years, especially with last year’s Nordisk Panorama winner Salóme by Yrsa Roca Fannberg.

Sonnet of Delirium Sonnet of Delirium

Rattlesnakes Skröltormar

The Last Farm in the Valley Sídasti bærinn í dalnum

Is one of few animation films out of Iceland, made in part by the Icelandic Una Lorentzen, who brought this eerie tale to life, using hand drawn cut outs and frame by frame charcoal animation. Sonnet of Delirium is an experimental horror film with an atmospheric feel.

A middle-aged car salesman midlife crises burst out into the open, when he gets himself new rattlesnake boots.

Hafsteinn Gunnars Sigurðsson’s “Rattlesnakes” is his first take on a theme he has examined ever since; state of the male in the modern world.

Iceland’s Oscar nominated short film is a gem in the Icelandic canon and deserves attention.

Though the film is set in an isolated Icelandic valley, the theme is universal love and commitment. An aging farmer is leaving with his wife for a retirement home in the city. What are the last chores?

Sun 20 Sept 16.00 / Panora 1

In her films Ísold takes on the issues and the society around her. Her characters may not be the most sympathetic, but Ísold puts them through the wrench of realization, to come out in the other end, stronger and more understanding. Ísold’s films are very much a look on the society she lives in and of her own life.

Her first film, Family Reunion is a modern day coming out story, after-crash Reykjavík in Revolution Reykjavík and a drug addict cleaning up in New York in her second short Clean. Her film Njálsgata takes on growing responsibilities of party-soaked young people in Reykjavík.

74

Currently, Ísold is developing her first feature film, and Breath Normally, produced by Zik Zak Filmworks in Reykjavik. At the edge of Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula, two women’s lives will intersect – for a brief moment – while trapped in circumstances unforeseen.

Between a struggling, young Icelandic mother and a Ugandan asylum seeker, an intimate bond will form as both strategize in private – to get their lives back on track.

Bikes vs Cars Bikes vs Cars

Detained Förvaret

Warriors From the North Krigerne fra nord

Modern cities are increasingly built around the needs of automobiles, despite their detrimental effects to the planet, human lifespan and quality of life. The car didn’t always drive urban planning though, as activists and cyclists all over the world realise the bicycle’s history and potential as a tool for change. But will economic and political interests block the bike renaissance?

Twenty-five asylum seekers await their fate while locked inside a Swedish Migration Agency detention centre. A mother separated from her children faces expulsion, a young man waits for his life to begin, and a staff member struggles with the impersonal bureaucracy required of her job. Detained is a truly absorbing existential observation on freedom of movement and the value of life.

Why did Abdi, Hassan and Mohammed, all young SomaliScandinavian men, leave their comfortable lives and families in Denmark and Norway to join alShabaab, an extremist Islamic terrorist group in Somalia?

Roadkill Roadkill

The Gold Watch Guldklockan

Cams Cams

Maja and Daniel are stuck in a relationship rut. They bicker and argue as they drive along winding, snowcovered roads dotted with roadkill, en route to burying something that they both hold dear. A bittersweet tale of what a couple can and cannot accept, and what they try to put off until the very end.

A tired, middle-aged man walks into a grocery store and finds a magic pocket watch that enables him to stop time. He realizes that he can do whatever he wants with this newfound power. Will he use the watch to do good or just goof off? A fun physical comedy about tremendous power, excess and waste.

The image pans slowly to show a coastal moor, a neighbourhood of empty villas, silent streets. There are no human beings, no explanation of what happened, where everyone went, how it all ended. Nature flourishes however, trees sway, squirrels scavenge, and something darker stirs…

An experimental science-fiction that uses camera movement to create serious suspense.

Photographer Kent Klich’s new project Black Friday is the third part of his ongoing depiction – books, video installations and exhibitions – of life in the Gaza Strip.

Since the beginning of the 21st century he has worked with both his own photography and a kind of investigation of images of the citizens of Gaza and their “video diaries” filmed with mobile phones. His pictures can be seen as a reaction to all the photos of catastrophic scenes from the area that reach us via the mass media – the constant press photos of acts of violence.

Blood Sisters Blodssystrar

Based on a short story by Paul Auster, a man scours the local bookstores in search of a rare title that he yearns to read. When he finally finds the book, it’s in a most unexpected way.

A playful animated reflection on the surprises, coincidences and unseen forces that link us to one another.

Twins Julia and Johanna arrive in the suburb of Rosengård in Malmö, Sweden from Azerbaijan, carrying unspeakable emotional baggage.

The siblings promise to always be there for one another, but when Julia decides to get married, the young women fall out of copacetic communication. Their separation brings the past back into the present and forces them to confront who they are without the other. Are Johanna and Julia stronger together or apart?

A dazzling display of stop-motion animation, dance, puppetry and live-action, shot in the salt mines of Poland and the sand dunes of Scotland. Visually arresting and thought-provoking, Salt plumbs the depths of a growing girl’s dreams and sheds light on the darkness of her domestic life.

Seven-year-old Johannes stays at his grandparent’s house in the enclosed military town of Sillamäe while his mother works in faraway Tartu. But the little boy longs for his mother and hatches an escape plan to reunite with her with the help of a toy car and his best stuffed friend, Crocodile Gena. An imaginative long-distance love story.

Elin arrives at a new school and tries her best to fit in. She quickly discovers that some children have more than others, and struggles to find where she belongs. Is she a have or a have-not? As her classmates prepare to go on a ski trip, she comes face-to-face with the answer in this honest and powerful life lesson about class and socio-economic hierarchy.

Agnes Agnes

A multicultural group of children from the remote village of Akkarfjord in northern Norway, travel to Oslo to participate in the Constitution Day parade. Their first time in the capital is a joyful adventure that celebrates diversity and civic engagement at any age.

Nine-year old Ella realizes the importance of fashion and fitting in when her cool friends at school introduce her to taking selfies and wearing designer clothes. But where is the line between finding a signature style and becoming a sartorial sheep?

A boy is humiliated at a waterslide and plots to punish his bullies. But when he realizes his revenge is out of proportion to his trauma, he must race against time to set things right and reverse a reactionary decision.

In many ways 12-year-old Lukas is a normal kid: he plays in a punk band, hangs out with his friends and fights with his kid brother. But Lukas also has Asperger’s syndrome, which comes with its own unique set of challenges.

Over the course of one minute we are shown 60 endangered species as they morph one into another and potentially into oblivion, if we don’t act fast! A strong message about human apathy, and the flora and fauna we are failing to preserve.

Agnes is six years old and very fond of her older brother. When he brings his girlfriend home to meet the family Agnes welcomes her with jealousy. A delicate story about a little girl who learns that sharing is caring.

Is Talent Enough?

The Politics of Festival Programming

Sat 19 Sept 15.00-16.00 / Stadsarkivet

Sat 19 Sept 16.00-17.00 / Stadsarkivet

Talents are carefully being nurtured with special schemes, programmes and showcases. But what are the talents developed into? What are the goals of the talent programmes? And what happens to these talents later, when they no longer fit into the special schemes?

Most festivals claim to screen the best films in competition. But what constitutes the best film? And do other considerations, other than the film itself, come into play when programmers choose the selected few?

Meet the programmers and hear what happens in the engine room of the programming departments.

For this debate we have invited representatives from national and regional talent development schemes to discuss the strategies behind talent development and how they see the future for it. Will it primarily continue to be a national and regional focus? Or should we aim for larger international ways of working?

Niche Films – Wide reach

Art versus ads

Reaching A Film’s Full Potential – Seminar

An art manifestation and walking masterclass with Tania Ruiz Sat 19 Sept 14.00 / Malmö Central Station The guided tour starts at the entrance to the City Tunnel at Anna Lindh’s plats.

The masterclass is hold at Centralstationen ”Gröna Hallen”

Unlike many other train and metro stations around the world The City Tunnel in Malmö is remarkably free of advertisement. Instead, artworks have been included from the conception phase. At the end of this year the five-year contract for the popular art work ‘Elsewhere’, which is the largest video installation currently installed in a public space, comes to an end and there is a risk, that the space will be taken over by commercial interests and filled by commercial advertisement, if the contract isn’t renewed.

A film’s impact and longevity is often defined by it’s distribution phase and for films traditionally seen as “niche”, including documentaries, filmmakers and producers are increasingly taking this into their own hands - in innovative and effective ways.

Sat 19 Sept 13.00-15.00 / Stadsarkivet Hörsalen A case study hosted by The Independent Filmmakers Association (OFF) featuring the film The Ceremony. The Ceremony could be categorised as a niche film, but it had a major impact – screening widely in cinemas and featuring in important cultural media alongside Fifty Shades of Grey. What was the strategy behind the launch? The film’s producer Mathilde Dedye and director Lina Mannheimer will talk about how they worked

with micro-segmentation, simultaneous screenings, a 100% digital launch campaign and share some of their best tips.

Following the Case Study, Doc Lounge will present their approaches to exhibition and distribution, which works closely with filmmakers audience engagement and selfdistribution strategies, including their new models Doc Lounge Live and Moving Docs.

This will be followed by a panel discussion about how producers and exhibitors can work together to achieve a wide audience for “niche” films.

OFF invites the audience to the opportunity to capture participants, staff, and board members from OFF at the Happy Hour mingling that takes place at 18-19.

“Elsewhere/ Annorstädes” is a groundbreaking step in the emancipation of time based media from standard formats. Through a projection device that evokes the perceptual experience from a train, the viewers are invited to lose themselves in images during their wait. As the projections are perceived as train windows, the station itself becomes a train.

Tania Ruiz was born and educated in Bogota, Colombia and is now based in Paris where she holds a PhD in Arts from Pantheon-Sorbonne and follows in parallel an academic career as an associate professor of arts at St Denis University, Paris VIII. In 2013 she was awarded an honorary doctorate at Malmö University.

Understanding ‘format’ in a technical, aesthetic and political sense, the artist Tania Ruiz will in her Masterclass invite us to discover the way, in which she dealt with the spatial editing, the choices behind the 1500 sequences composing her work, the temporal aspects of the generative system controlling the installation and other unsuspected aspects of her work. Tania is conducting a guided tour of the underground work followed by an open master class at Malmö Central Station.

How do you gain access to another person’s dreams, desires, feelings and fears? How do you establish trust and intimacy with a subject, across different linguistic, cultural and personal barriers? How do you go from being an outsider to an insider? A trio of documentaries with access to envy and bonds to burn, share ideas on how they got their foot in the door, gained access to the inner sanctum, and went beyond the superficial with their subjects. What is the method and magic involved in attracting people to your project, creating a rapport with strangers, and elevating an interview from inquiry to art?

It’s not easy to draw an audience in, completely and utterly, to the point where they feel what the main subjects and protagonists in a film feel. How do you engage an audience to not only watch and listen, but also to empathise? Is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another even explainable, let alone able to be broken down into a how-to? An exploration of empathy and emotion in cinema that investigates the roles filmmakers and audiences play in imagining another person’s experience, how to bring difficult issues to light so that they can be seen but also felt, and how to penetrate pain to the point of transference.

A collection of daring films that march to the beat of their own drum and defy categorisation, venture into forbidden territory to create new and exciting forms.

From taboo to brand new, these daredevil films tackle subject matter and genre combinations that are off-limits or don’t yet exist. Topics such as Islamic dress, female sexual practices, mental illness, racism and religion are tackled without concern for political correctness or convention.

And forget about labels, these films reinvent them - a feminist physical comedy, an unrom-com, a mental music video, an anarchumentary - proving that without risk, there is no reward.

Whether you’re using actors and improvisation or real-life subjects and observation, how do you strike performance gold? Spontaneous moments of reality and truth are as hard to come by as lightning in a bottle, so how do you distill a moment of total authenticity on-screen? Is it as simple as luck? As easy as keeping the tape running?

Or is there something more to it? How do filmmakers enable their characters and subjects to live and breathe as believable human beings on film? And how are fictional and non-fictional elements bleeding into one another and across narrative and documentary film genres to create a new level of naturalism and vulnerability?

The documentary has always had the role to raise important social issues, highlight injustices, expose hierarchies of power, find the story that otherwise could not penetrate through the noise of mass media. But must a doumentary film have social impact in order to succeed ? Can documentaries really cause an effect and lead to sustainable change?

100

How does the interests of private finansiers influence which films are being made, and what are the risk of documentary films becoming propaganda?

Does the documentary genre entirely benefit from these expectation of outreach and impact, or does it exclude important films based on ‘small’ stories distinguished by their poetic, literary or humanistic values?

Virtual is the new reality

THE BODY SWAP EXPERIENCE

A long, long time ago, I was shooting in a crowded refugee camp in Nepal, trying to capture the exact nature of living in a desperate, claustrophobic space. The limits of the flat screen were deeply frustrating, sacrificing so much of what I saw and felt in the “real” reality. And as we’ve come to know our world isn’t flat, it’s round. And so is VR - virtual reality - the astonishing ability to finally immerse one self fully in another environment.

Imagine being able to explore other worlds exactly as they are. Imagine news that isn’t colored by the political opinions of news channels but simply captures everything in a protest, or a war. Or in a fictional world, fighting Zombies so close you’ll never sleep well again. Imagine being able to immerse yourself inside any place, from any time, and explore it for as long as you like.

Since Facebook bought Oculus Rift, the revolutionary VR platform, for 2 billion dollars only 18 months ago, VR has exploded onto the scene as a completely new way of telling stories - real and fictional. It’s quickly made headway into film, journalism, architecture, medicine, the army, gaming, and of course the porn industry.

At BoostHbg we are into innovation and development in storytelling, and we’re proud to sponsor and co-produce this year’s Hackathon exploring VR in collaboration with Stranger and Nordisk Panorama.

During the Hackathon a diverse group of Nordic creators and techies are locked up together for 48 hours to make history.

Don’t miss their presentations on Monday.

Also don’t miss the unique VR Body Swap Experience – Machine To Be Another - where you’re actually invited to switch bodies with another person. Yup! It can be done.

Come play! / Annika Gustafson

Virtual Reality has exploded onto the scene as a completely new way of telling stories - real and fictional.

2015 marks 120 years since our very first films. And now we’re right back at that magic moment where a new storytelling medium has been invented. The nature of content is changing fast, and a new language needs to be developed. But who will be the creators in this space? Who will form our storytelling?

Our view of the world? With a tool as powerful as VR, it’s critical that we nurture diversity and empathy in our creators and our audience, because just as our world isn’t flat or one-dimensional, it also consists of a multitude of cultures and opinions.

Have you ever heard of the expression ‘Walk a mile in my shoes’? It’s an expression often used in situations when we want other people to understand us better and make them try to see what we’re going trough. But if it were possible to actually swap body with someone, would we really understand each other better?

Saturday 19 Sept. – Tuesday 22 Sept. 10.00- 14.00, 16.00 -20.00 Stadsarkivet / Entrance from Cinema Panora, Friisgatan 19 In this special collaboration with Boosthbg, we present a virtual reality experience called “The Body Swap Experience” where you actually experience someone else‘s body as if it was your own. The virtual experience means it is finally possible to see the world through someone else’s eyes.

This interactive experience is created by BeAnotherLab, a multidisciplinary team with a strong interest in understanding how people interpret and communicate with each other in order to create relations to other people. And understand yourself better.

WHY INNOVATE FILM FORMATS? A call to action by Cecilie Stranger-Thorsen, producer of Nordic Transmedia meet-up and NP Hackathon in Malmö since 2013 striving to inspire filmmakers and facilitate innovation of storytelling.

Filmmakers are a creative and original force in our Nordic societies, but for Nordic stories to continue to reach audiences, we need to innovate formats.

Going digital has revolutionized the whole world.

The way we do business, keep democracies in check and even how we fall in love have changed radically over the past 20 years.

In order to benefit from the vast amount of benefits, such as new ways of telling stories and reach audiences, filmmakers need to grasp and embrace new technical possibilities and ways of engaging the users.

Sadly, filmmakers exhibit reluctance to experiment with new platforms and services, which means that the industry doesn’t benefit fully from the potentials of this revolution, which is leading to increased competition and crumbling business models.

In order to benefit from the vast amount of benefits, such as new ways of telling stories and reach audiences, filmmakers need to grasp and embrace new technical possibilities and ways of engaging the users.

The Transmedia meet-up and NP Hackathon are two events offering Nordic filmmakers to do exactly that - an opportunity to innovate by introducing two efficient methods: • Networking with other producers and listening to the best practices in the field of film, games, marketing and experience design (p. 109).

104

• Collaborating with other producers to prototype and test new ways of telling stories and creating experiences (p.109).

In 2015 we are focusing on Virtual Reality as an exciting possibility for storytellers.

VR is on the brink of becoming mainstream, with the personal headsets due to arrive next year, which offers most exciting possibilities for filmmakers to get in on the ground floor of this new field.

Prototyping is an efficient way of creating something viable in a short time, to show others and to test your ideas in a very real way before developing it further. It is a natural starting point for the NP Hackathon, as our focus is on producing for digital platforms.

I would like to emphasize the importance of applying this method to film production in general as communicating your project to the audience during development even early idea and receiving feedback is not about giving them what they want. Merely making sure that you build an audience for the stories you want to tell and take creative inspiration from the way people react to your ideas.

THE BURDEN OF REALISM IN VIRTUAL REALITY Multimedia artist Oscar Raby’s talk on realism and VR combines a broad perspective with his own experiences as a VR documentarist.

Fri 18 Sept 13.00 / Panora / Free entrance Pre-registration needed at www.meetup.com/nordictransmedia “Art undergoes changes constantly, whether they are technical variations or cultural interpretations, it is safe to say: language is never finished. If painting changed dramatically over the 20th century, what shall we ask from Virtual Reality, the shiny new toy of the post-screen media?” Oscar’s interest is in using interactive media to explore the relationship between the individual experience and larger historical narratives.

His Virtual Reality documentary Assent, about the Chilean dictatorship, has been exhibited world-wide.

Oscar and his producer, Katy Morrison, will be joining the 40 Nordic producers of the NP Hackathon for a weekend of intense development and prototyping.

The works that resulted from the 48 hours Hackathon is presented for all interested audiences (see p. 109).

The future of storytelling 40 filmmakers, game developers, programmers, storytellers, designers and artists have spent 48 hours together, prototyping VR experiences and exploring the future of storytelling.

#hackathon

Mon 21 Sept 12.00 / Panora

This documentary series will explore how information about you is collected and used.

Every two weeks, a personalized episode that explores a different aspect of how the modern web is increasingly a space where our movements, our speech and our identities are recorded and tracked. We explore what this means to you, your family and your friends.

From our mobile phones to social networks, personalized advertising to big data, each episode will have a different focus, a different voice and a different look.

What do they have in common? While you watch, they will use the methods and tools trackers use to track you. We want you not only to understand but also to experience what tracking means.

The concept of Hackathons comes from the IT / Start-up scene, where programmers meet to ‘hack’ (make demos or prototypes) over a weekend, focusing on quickly testing ideas and concepts.

Nordisk Panorama uses this model to explore what happens when we stop talking and start collaborating across media industries. Bringing together storytellers and developers, we explore.
