'Silence' is an intimate portrait of the life of a ten year old girl as an intense storm is about to descend upon her city.
Silence is 11 minutes long but manages to pack 20 years of a little girl's experience. Using stark black and white animation and vivid colour animation, the story is told from a little girl's point of view. We follow the silences that were imposed on her first in Terezin (Theresienstadt) concentration camp and then in post-WWII Sweden, where her relatives don't ask any questions and don't permit them either. This is the true story of Tana, who has learned to keep silent and who finally, 50 years later, breaks her silence by narrating this short film. The film was adapted from a tone poem performed by Tana in Stockholm during an event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of the war.

"Two Jesuit priests travel to seventeenth century Japan under the Shogunate regime (which has isolated itself from all foreign contact) to see how the evangelical mission is going. There they witness the persecution of Japanese Christians at the hands of their own government, which wishes to purge Japan of all western influence. Eventually the priests separate and Rodrigues travels the countryside, wondering why God remains silent while His children suffer.“ I love this movie since i found this text! And i wanted to translate this story to an abstract short avantgarde film. I was inspired by the paintings of Sanchez Cotan, who lived in this time the story is located. I want to show the develpoment of the emotions of the two priests. The drama is, that everything can be excused in the catholoic church. Except the Apostasia - the doubt to the faith in God. You can steel, murder or lie. You go to confession and everything is forgotten. But doubting is unforgivable.

The spread of fake news and false information has reached a new climax. What happens when we create a momentum which silences politics, economics and the ego of each individual? This film is a part of the Silent Archive which is a collection of speeches by people of public interest. The project was made with the help of an algorithm that scans speeches in order to find and cut out pauses made by the speakers. Queuing up those cut out sequences they form a continuous silence. The short film is a selection of speeches that went through this process.
