Through this project we have collaborated with the short film festival Filmkraft. The purpose of the project was to create awareness of the festival through branding. It was also an aim, to create an independent work of art. We wished to create both elements in one experience without either losing their integrity. The project is called Kunsten at Komprimere, which can be translated into ‘The Art of Compressing’. It is a name based on our definition of short films. Our definition and understanding of a short film is, as the name implies, a film in a short format. A short film disseminates a storyline in a very concrete manner, a compressed manner one might say. The slogan of Filmkraft is ‘Great Stories in Short Format’, which we find to be very true of the short film format. We have, through this project, worked from this idea of taking something grand and compressing it into a smaller format. The result is Kunsten at Komprimere, which is an installation that compresses moments, emotions, movements, interactions – experiences into one image, which hopefully will represent the entire experience.
