SÀIVA (shortfilm 2009)


This is the film I examined with when I took my bachelor's in animation at the college in Volda. Sàiva is a personal interpretation of a Sami myth that when you die you come to a world under the ground where everything is the opposite of here, and where the dead walk with their feet against our feet. It is on the collective release "Norsk kort 009" published by the Norwegian Film Institute. You can read more about the film here. 


​
Norwegian Film Association Professional Award and Film Critics 2010 Short Film Festival in Grimstad:
"This year's prizewinner shows in a poetic film language how the individual moves between different layers of reality. Both man and existence is ambiguous [ and ] are distinguished by a special artistic balance between tradition and the present in a distinctive visual expression. "

Premio Asolo, Italy, the best film on Art 2010: 
«Life. Interpretation of forms, locations. White and black dance together. This film is distiguished by the great simplicity of its composition which depicts art and strikes deeply, a gift of hope and unity"
​
Nordisk Panorama, Bergen, Norway. Honorary Mention 2011: 
"In Saiva, the visual technique and narrative concept, blend beautifully together, as do the two realities depicted in the film. It's a challenging narrative that keeps the audience thinking, while manoeuvring through its experimental landscape."
