No Sunshine

1997 · 6 min

An abstract, hypnotic experiment that drifts like a dream, asking you to surrender to strange images rather than follow a story.

Directed by
Bjørn Melhus
Starring
Bjørn Melhus, Roald Melhus
Overview
A short story about new bodies, the power of denial, and a state of no sunshine. Two infantile bodies float in a cyberspace ball, connected by two subconscious bodies in the background. The attempt at unification and metamorphosis is interrupted by one part as the other is liberated. A glance over the shoulder means destruction.
