Ártún
Director’s statement:
Ártún is a personal story based on my own experience as a young boy taking an early step into the teenage years. Like kids, in Ártún, the boys’ vision on the world is still very much a part of their own imagination. I want to reflect on this preteen period which I feel very strongly about. I look for my inspiration from these years with an urge to reconnect and understand them. As a kid and a teenager I used to wish that I could show the grownups around me, how our world really was. As a filmmaker I want to do that and make a film about youth as these years portray our life in a very clear, beautiful and sometimes harsh way.
