Nella Fantasia

Doc. expérimental | hdv | couleur | 55:0 | Autriche, Norvège | 2012

Nella Fantasia was created in December 2011 on the offshore oil rig Snorre A situated in the middle of the North Sea off the coast of Norway. After successfully passing a number of health tests and safety trainings, Lukas Marxt travelled to the platform and spent around 10 days collecting visual and acoustic impressions amid the loneliness of wind storms and huge waves. The result is a visual description of the oil rig microcosm which does not focus on technical processes and ongoing work on the platform but, instead, attempts to create a location which excludes obvious associations of the surroundings such as corridors, curtains, the horizon, the lapping of waves and a melancholic sigh at the end of a shift. The quiet and long shots of the film form a sort of inner monologue which the viewer can feel and experience - disconnecting people and machine. "Nella Fantasia" lasts roughly 55 minutes and is part documentary and part experimental art film.
