The selection of six non-/fiction diary films, capture the moment everyday life is transformed into a poem - and the mundane is made to become sacred.
The selection of six non-/fiction diary films capture the moment everyday life is transformed into a poem. As the camera eye caringly traces the contours of both the inner and outer landscapes, the mundane is here made to become sacred. Through the observation of a fleeting encounter with someone from the time already long gone, a ritualistic making of a family dish or a cab ride through the darkened streets of an empty metropolis, we are invited to come closer and listen more carefully, so we can catch a glimpse of a poem that is only briefly ours.
