LIGHT YEAR / Ljusår
Mikael Kristersson | Sweden | 2008 | 101 min

The concert is part of IDFA 2016’s special focus program ‘The Quiet Eye’, a thematic program dedicated to the work of filmakkers who share a more contemplative approach towards documentary film production.

Award-winning Swedish director Mikael Kristersson explores the beauty and the complexity of the natural world that surrounds us by turning the camera towards his own garden in Falsterbo, an old village in the south of Sweden. Without any external narration, ‘Light Year’ shows a year in the life of the birds, insects and human beings that share the garden, creating a poetic portrait of the beauty, complexity and interconnectivity of animal, human and vegetable life.
