Life according to Havnes
Documentary, 2020
A hybrid between poetry, fiction, and concert.
An existential journey through the streets of Oslo in 45 minutes shot in realtime with two camera-crews. The poet Eirik Havnes performs a self-written poem while a crew of 50 filmmakers, dancers, extras, and musicians are in action. A highly ambitious and cross-genre production from director Magnus Skatvold and Spætt Film. We wanted to create a response to traditional streaming and push the boundaries of what we can do with the live format.
