Sidsel Endresen

Short documentary

What story is hidden in the stranded suitcase full of pictures, sounds and letters whose origins we do not know? The film is an homage to cinema, a film poem made up of images between dream and reality; a network of sounds, text fragments and voices that leads far out into the world and at the same time close to us. Aren’t we all floating islands?

Expedition is to be experienced as a journey on several levels. A purely visual and musical voyage through the challenges between two people – or the contrasts within each and everyone of us. The abstract artistic expression of both sound and picture has an ambiguity which allows for individual interpretations and experiences. The film consists of directly animated drawings and sequences joined in a “chain of mixes”. It is a visual poem where Sidsel Endresens’s music plays key role. Sidsel Endresen is one of Norway’s most prominent jazz performers and composers. She also makes music for dance, theater and film.
