When We Are Born
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.

O conflito global entre os monstros de outro mundo, apelidados de Kaiju, e os Jaegers, as super-máquinas pilotadas por humanos, construídas para os eliminar, foi apenas o prelúdio para o assalto final à humanidade. Em "Círculo de Fogo: A Revolta", John Boyega ("Star Wars: O Despertar da Força") é o rebelde Jake Pentecost, um outrora promissor piloto de Jaegers que viu o pai dar a vida para garantir a vitória contra os Kaiju. Jake abandonou o treino e foi apanhado pelo submundo do crime. Quando uma ameaça ainda mais imparável começa a destruir as cidades e coloca o mundo a seus pés, a sua irmã Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) dá-lhe mais uma oportunidade para seguir o legado do pai. Mako lidera uma nova geração de pilotos que cresceu durante a guerra. Enquanto procuram justiça para os que morreram, a sua única esperança consiste em permanecerem unidos numa resistência global contra as forças que pretendem eliminá-los.
