Arne Meets Death
Cinematography
The year is 1995. It knocks on the door of "Greedy Arne" Nyman's dilapidated house. It is Death who has come to take him. Greedy Arne is not worried of Death, he is more afraid of door-to-door sellers, but he has something vital to deal with first. It will be the beginning of a walk with Death by his side, which continues in an old rusty Volvo 240.
Free Men
Cinematography
FREE MEN is a comedy about two good friends who get into trouble at their jobs, forcing them to rethink their life situation. Daniel wants to be independent and Emil wants to be safe. In the end, Daniel has to choose between his best friend and his freedom.
Gunda
First Assistant Camera
Experiential cinema in its purest form, GUNDA chronicles the unfiltered lives of a mother pig, a flock of chickens, and a herd of cows with masterful intimacy. Using stark, transcendent black and white cinematography and the farm's ambient soundtrack, Master director Victor Kossakowsky invites the audience to slow down and experience life as his subjects do, taking in their world with a magical patience and an other worldly perspective. GUNDA asks us to meditate on the mystery of animal consciousness, and reckon with the role humanity plays in it. Executive produced by Joaquin Phoenix.
