Dea marina is an ecological music film about myths, mankind and the sea. It tells a story of environmental pollution and the gimmicks of today's society. Based on the fairytale Den lille Havfrue by H. C. Andersen.

A little girl gets separated from her teddy bear and is inconsolable.

The little man lives a safe and orderly life. But then strange things begin to happen.

Mass was made during Sjöström’s years at the film department of the Royal College of Art, in cooperation with the London Filmmaker’s Co-op. Random or staged shots of people and settings in urban London are arranged and abstracted, double-exposed and solarized. The result is a dense texture filled with layers and associative dimensions. Mass is a film attempting to convey, by strictly filmic means, the cooped-up feeling of the individual in the grey mass of the city. The absurd concrete city landscape is visualized through the unspoilt and naked eye of the camera in a concentrated mosaic of images and sound.
