Memories
Around 10 years ago I suffered from paranoia and OCD. During that time, I filmed hours every day on digital cameras when I controlled my living. I lived with my parents and couldn’t get out of the house alone. Years later, I found these cameras when I cleaned my room I had as a girl. The film clips are the basis in my short movie. A story of odd thoughts and fear is woven together in my film.

By the Power Plant
The steaming cooling towers of coal power plants are both beautiful and frightening. They are everywhere on our planet, but we rarely get to meet the people living in their shadows.

Shot in front of these massive symbols for the big question of our times, the testimonies create a subtle and moving drama.
