SHORT FILMS

Inspired by the short stories written by our circumpolar authors, the short films apply the techniques used in onstage puppetry, object manipulation, lights and shadows to the creation of unique digital pieces.

SILENCE is the worried look of a young woman from the North on the transformation of our land in the face of ecological upheavals, the exodus of our fauna and soon of our populations. Created with Neevie Simigak, a young Inuk encountered during an expedition to Nunavik, the short film SILENCE is a silent cry.

The film draws its inspiration from two circumpolar short stories written as part of the Nordic cycle. One, from Alexander Seryakov, comes from northern Russia and the other, from Pipaluk Løgstrop, is of Greenlandic origin. Both speak to us in their own way of transformation and hope. Image processing, animation and filmed shadows tint the short film with a poetic and impressionistic framework in which music replaces words.

FISH HOLE

Created in six days.A coproduction between Theatre Incline and the Arctic Arts Summit (Norway) with the support of the Nordland Visual Theatre.

When a giant hole appears at the limit of the arctic, the walking fishes are left with a hard choice to make. Struggling with the unknown fate or diving away. The latest seems even more tempting since a new salesman offers deals for relocation in the south. Fish Hole is a geologic tale that brings about the questions of appropriation of the territory and the danger to let others decide where and how we should live.
