Juhlan paikka!
Sakun äänisuunnittelema ja miksaama lyhytelokuva "My Name is Hope" nappasi Norjan filkkareilta Next Nordic Generation -palkinnon!
Saatesanat festivaalilta:
This year's winner has made a film that deals with a central, current and burning issue. But where some take a clear position on a conflict or primarily shed light on an issue to inform the viewer, or some choose to be explicitly political or even take a suggestive stance, this film provides a different perspective and quite literally makes it personal for each and every one.
The film takes place in a small and limited area and with a strict framework provides us with a single and extremely narrow perspective – our own. By not providing us with a face or a voice to the main character, the film manages to force us to stop thinking of the theme as a complicated and big issue happening to others far and away, but rather view it as an everyday conversation happening to each of us here and now.
We are shown very little and thereby forced to understand the story through the pieces we manage to weave together by what little we hear and see around us. And in the end, it confirms the little human truth we all agree on, when we can’t agree on anything else – that there is always hope.
Paljon onnea koko työryhmälle!!!
