Once You Shall Be One Of Those Who Lived Long Ago
nb. This event takes place at different venues or in different spaces for different performances.
An affecting, gorgeously crafted documentary about the remaining people in Malmberget in north Sweden, a small town slowly collapsing into the mines beneath it. As residents reflect on the once vibrant community, the town itself is gradually dismantled around them.
Beautifully shot, with a dreamy, otherworldly sense of place and time, and featuring warm, interesting characters whose stoicism is accompanied by a deeper sadness. Haunting, reflective and deeply cinematic, this is a dignified and thoughtful rumination on change, loss and grief alongside the strength of community and the resilience of the natural world.
