Being a Human Person

Director: Fred Scott

Year: 2020

Some filmmakers' style is so unique, they announce themselves in a scene: Lynch; Welles; Malick. And then there is Roy Andersson. A director whose visual storytelling can be encapsulated in a single frame. Because Roy, without hyperbole, is truly one of a kind. All his films take years to make. His crew builds every set; then films and destroys them. He uses only fixed shots with no close-ups or edits. He casts non-professional actors. Roy’s intricate in-camera trickery is meticulous to the point of madness. And each production is shot entirely in an unassuming townhouse below Roy’s apartment – Stockholm's legendary Studio 24. Roy’s contrarian methods have won garlands at the world's most prestigious festivals, and the adulation of visionaries like Darren Aronofsky and Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Now, at 76 years old, he is about to present his final work to the world. ABOUT ENDLESSNESS will mark the end of a major chapter in cinema. For when Roy stops making films, they will never be made this way again. Charting the arduous, unsettled arc of what Roy lovingly terms his “final effort”, BEING A HUMAN PERSON is a poignant and heartbreakingly honest portrait of a master storyteller calling time on his career.

Structured as a psychogeographic voyage, the film explores place, memory, and sensation through the inner life of a poet whose sense of self gradually dissolves into cinematic reflection. Departing from conventional documentary forms, EVERY MOON IS ATROCIOUS invites audiences into a layered sensory environment where image, sound, and language operate associatively. At its core lies the poetry of the late Niall McDevitt (1967-2022), whose work forms the conceptual and emotional spine of the film, shaping a trance-like rhythm that mirrors the protagonist’s journey towards death and the unknown. Yvonne McDevitt’s filmmaking resists separating form from feeling. Dreamlike visuals, intense durational shots, and richly layered sound design prioritise emotional resonance over linear narrative. Fragmented imagery and superimpositions draw viewers into a meditative mode, presenting the film as a cinematic drift that charts inner terrains as much as physical ones. Movement through cities and coastlines becomes inseparable from movement through memory, grief, and desire. Official Selection Dublin International Film Festival 2026 - World premiere
