Expedition is to be experienced as a journey on several levels. A purely visual and musical voyage through the challenges between two people – or the contrasts within each and everyone of us. The abstract artistic expression of both sound and picture has an ambiguity which allows for individual interpretations and experiences. The film consists of directly animated drawings and sequences joined in a “chain of mixes”. It is a visual poem where Sidsel Endresens’s music plays key role.

Leikr – Journey Towards Light is an old Norse word meaning game fight or exercise. An exciting meeting after a journey in an animated and evolving Nordic landscape. Original music by Bendik Hofseth, saxophone player and composer. A diverse artist who has written music for ballet, movies and theatre.

Experimental film. The underlying idea behind «All might become true» is to capture the interaction between the artist Runi Langum and her art, to catch the glance of the artist, her impact to the artwork while the artwork is being formed. Through this process, the artist becomes an integrated part of her own artwork, diminishing and erasing the the border between fantasy and reality. The transition from the story about the artistically process to the moment where the artwork starts living its own life is blurred. Because of this, the artist may never be finished with any work of art, but rather always be striving to improve and enhance, look for new motives, new angles, new themes and new ways to tell a story
