Cinematography
WHEN WE ARE BORN is a unique live performance film that tells a touching and thoroughly human story based in part on Ólafur’s life. Filmed on location in Iceland in summer 2020, it features the contributions of an unparalleled creative collective including ground-breaking choreographer Erna Ómarsdóttir, the Iceland Dance Company and cinematographer Thor Eliasson. The music in the film builds upon Ólafur’s critically praised new album ‘some kind of peace’ and was performed and recorded live on set, representing a constant cinematic conversation between picture and music. Vincent Moon’s intimate cinematic vision brings this layered metaphorical world to life as we see Ólafur’s music manifested and symbolised all around him through set design, lighting and dance. Through themes of rituals, relationships and exploration of our inner landscapes, this is a film focused on how we all move forward.

Un futuro cercano. Después de la primera invasión que sufrió la humanidad, la lucha aun no ha terminado. El planeta vuelve a ser asediado por los Kaiju, una raza de alienígenas colosales que emergen desde un portal interdimensional, con el objetivo de destruir a la raza humana. Ante esta nueva amenaza para la cual los humanos no están preparados, los Jaegers, robots gigantes de guerra pilotados por dos personas para sobrellevar la inmensa carga neural que conlleva manipularlos, ya no están a la altura de lo que se les viene encima. Será entonces cuando los supervivientes de la primera invasión, además de nuevos personajes como el hijo de Pentecost (John Boyega), tendrán que idear la manera de sorprender al enorme enemigo, apostando por nuevas estrategias defensivas y de ataque. Con la Tierra en ruinas e intentando reconstruirse, esta nueva batalla puede ser decisiva para el futuro.

"Pawn Sacrifice" (El sacrificio del peón) narra la historia de la preparación y del legendario enfrentamiento por el campeonato del mundo entre Bobby Fischer, campeón de ajedrez norteamericano, y el campeón ruso Boris Spassky. El duelo, que tuvo lugar en 1972, en plena Guerra Fría, fue mucho más que un conjunto de partidas para conquistar un campeonato; prueba de ello es que captó la atención de todo el mundo.
