Strange Place For Snow
Halonen Henna-Riikka
The surreal short film creates a mirage-like universe – suspended between past and future, and fiction and reality – where the familiar rubs shoulders with the strange. The references to sci-fi literature reflect the future and the complex identity of a historical border town in Northern England. A woman's journey through architectural spaces generates an unstable perception of time and captures uncertainties of the present. Through the use of non-linear narrative and subjective experiences, the events are seen from alternative angles.
