For Whom The Bell Tolls

Synopsis

Smoke is used as a device to exploit extreme contrasts of light and dark. This theme of contrast echoes throughout the work as notions of presence and absence oscillate, and redundant, toxic waste is briefly transformed into a magnificent celebration of 'being' before gently dissipating into infinite time and space.

All These Summers All These Summers

Director: Therese Henningsen

Year: 2025

Driven by a recurring urge to encounter strangers with her camera, the filmmaker begins to film her solitary Greek Cypriot neighbour Pete in the tower block in London where they both live. Around the same time, her father in Denmark receives a cancer diagnosis requiring her to spend more time with him. As her father gradually slips back into the depression that made him absent when she was a teenager, she feels a need to document this transition. Her compulsion to enter into Pete’s life and to film him echoes with her desire for understanding her father’s experience of isolation and loneliness, as well as her own relationship to it. ALL THESE SUMMERS asks questions about responsibility in life and in film whilst intimately confronting the complexities of the daughter-father and filmmaker-subject relationship.
