Soria Moria Slott

1985 • Directed by

Stephan Sachs

Misty grey sea; a small island on the horizon; an approaching ship drifts through the picture; neither its origin nor its destination can be determined; just before the ship leaves the rectangle of the screen its journey is stopped by the orange-looking end of the film spool. Such an ending of a film is an impulse for a story about the story-teller, who tells a story without speaking -- and in this way gravity is finally suspended ann one finds oneself again right in the middle of the wood. Of course this is only a fairy tale.
