No weather is ill if the wind is still.
(2023)
The Royal Danish Academy 04.09.2023
Description
The film’s narrative revolves around weather forecasting and weather lore, delving into the cosmological understanding of time and space. It explores the historical account of Curonian villages that were buried by sand, utilizing fragmented time intervals to depict an alternative flow of time. Throughout the story, sand emerges as a contrasting element, repre- senting the negation of all forms and gradually signaling an impending doom. Landscape acts not only as a background but rather as the pro- tagonist of the story. Through its narrative lens, the film investigates the role of storytelling in shaping new perspectives.
