Winter Light

NEW DOCS

In the archipelago of Lofoten, off the Arctic coast of Norway, sunlight wanes in autumn and ultimately dips below the winter horizon. Filmmaker Skule Eriksen’s spectacular images show us the beauty and isolation of that landscape. Despite the frozen atmosphere, feelings of warmth result from the perpetual magic hour, and a poetic calm seems to pervade the everyday activities of the people who inhabit this world. A true example of “less is more,” this stunning short film will draw you into a corner of the world very few have the chance to experience.  AT
