Qirat

The camera glides quietly over the residents and everyday life in the Moroccan city of Ouarzazate, located on the edge of the Sahara Desert. From the barren landscapes of the Atlas Mountains to a bustling center, the city's cinematic history is intertwined with its present of vast solar energy fields.

Bakken

In three long, uninterrupted one-takes shot over a single summer’s day and night, the camera moves slowly through the park while the guests alternately react to the lens or try to ignore it. A gang of Pierrot clones mingle with the visitors. The film is an joint creation between students of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and the Danish Film School, initiated independently by the students. Using Bakken as a frame - historically, architecturally and socially - all the contributors helped develop the concept for both the film and the performative interventions in front of the camera, which are sometimes inseparable from the hedonistic and condensed semi-fictional universe that an amusement park is.
