Two years after it was first shown at Kunstnernes Hus Cinema, Camilla Figenschou's feature film Tauba is still a well-kept secret. Now it gets a long-awaited re-launch. The film bears Figenschou's artistic signature: a willingness to let the camera explore, wander and search and to portray places and moods.

There will be a short conversation after the screening. Special editions of the films' beautiful posters will also be raffled off to some lucky winners in the audience.

Tauba

Tauba is a film about a group of artists in residence in the small coastal town Kvalnes in Lofoten. Susanne is visiting with her two daughters, and starts a new collaboration with the dramaturg Tor. Her daughters get involved in a new performance project by choreographers Toon and Thomas, while the artist couple Viktor and Damla is making a video about a troll in the forest. In a visually playful way, we get to experience how these artists work on their respective environmental projects.
