NOT UNTIL NOW (7 min)
Short film by Clara Bodén
Language: Swedish. Subtitles: English
A young woman is calling from a call centre in Stockholm. “Hello, Clara. Are you aware that the Boreal Forest Belt needs protecting?” I’m standing in the Boreal Forest Belt, but the connection’s crap, and I can hardly hear you. A short essay on forests, conditions and belonging.
AASIVISSUIT (23 min)
A documentary by Jasper Copper
Language: Kalaallisut. Subtitles: English
This film follows two park workers moving through West Greenland, talking during their work about the landscape and the ecosystem. Aasivissuit is a poetic depiction and a partly new image of Greenland, a country with more layers than the melting icebergs that have long been allowed to represent it. The film is one of three nominees for the film award "Rödspoven".
Jasper Coppes (1983, Amsterdam) is a visual artist who works in a diverse range of media such as films, sound performances, installations and writing.
At 13.30-14.00:
