Cracking Sound

2019 · 11 min

A quiet, hypnotic drift through bleak Nordic wilds where the line between real and imagined keeps slipping.

Overview
Hanna Kaihlanen’s vision discovers a fantastic dimension that intersects with the real within the bleak Nordic landscape of Finland, and her expressive editing often loses track of the distinction between the two. The film is inspired by ecological issues and questions humanity’s claims to control and overcome nature: the director follows the chaotic logic of wildlife, like the film’s subject who tracks wild elk.
