On an island in the archipelago, a group of people are forced to challenge themselves in intimacy.

The goal is to train the ability to approach other people and open up to intimacy and closeness. The participants are initially skeptical of the format, but are drawn more and more into absurd exercises with a limitless approach to each other. An unhealthy group dynamic arises and one participant becomes increasingly skeptical. However, he is convinced to stay and is exposed to a kind of loving abuse that has an unexpected outcome.

The Glitter Factory
Director Alexander Rynéus

Sweden
NSF9267
Swedens only glitter factory is located in Dalarna close to my home village. Between the years 1950–1970 it produced Christmas tree tinsel during the winters. After the factory closed, the house was also the home of my grandfather and grandmother until they passed away. In the midst of the prevailing Covid pandemic I spent a lot of time in the house. Me and my parents went through different objects from different times still occupying the house and The Glitter Factory turned into an archaeological excavation with confused archaeologists. The film camera was with me in the house and suddenly years had passed.

Farvæl/Goodbye
Director Dawn Florinda Wall
in Music Video (International)
Faroe Islands
NSF9190
Farvæl is a Faroese song about grief.
We have all felt grief and most of us have lost someone we care about. When it hits, we often get paralyzed and have a hard time functioning. The song “Farvæl” translates the words and the mood of grief into song and with that it communicates what can be so hard to say, when we are faced with a loss. The music video compliments the song and tells the tale of a person going on the journey from the paralyzed state to slowly returning to her everyday life, despite having lost a loved one.
