Noen

Produsent: Ole Georg Østevik, Strandzonen AS

Synopsis

Through a series of enigmatic and dreamlike scenes we meet a boy, a man and a woman, each in their own way engaged in a journey through inner and outer landscapes. The fourth “character” is a mysterious glass ball, wandering around from hand to hand. Some times distant and unreachable, some times close and tangible. Like waves, the characters drift towards and away from each other.
Noen is a cinematic poem about enchantment and loss, hope and longing. Inspired by the lyrics of Nick Cave, but not meant to be an illustration or interpretation of these.
The film is almost entirely without spoken words, and the story is driven by images, music and movement. The adult main characters are played by professional dancers, and there are two dance sequences.

Director’s statement
With my background as a visual artist, I have a strong focus on the visual aspects and the interplay between sound and image in film. In this film, I haven’t really tried to create a clear storyline. My ambition has rather been to make a “series of dreams”, in which the narrative develops on an inner level – and to approach some common human issues in an open manner.
