The Handshake: Film screening of The Goodness Regime and Gracie Square

If We Were Thrown Into The Meltin´ Pot, Would We Tie A True Lovin’ Knot? is a series on reshaping identities, curated by Ifrah Osman. The series discusses how to navigate identities in a world that has not been fairly constructed, and how actions relate to how we form our own identity.

The second part The Handshake will be a double film screening of the experimental documentary The Goodness Regime by Jumana Manna and Sille Storihle and the short film Gracie Square by Rebekka Christophersen. The screenings will be followed by a conversation with Christophersen and curator Ifrah Osman about the collective self-understanding of Norway, which is a carefully curated identity we export to the rest of the world.

Taking Back Autonomy

"(W)hat could have been a rather dull film about the merits or otherwise of the United Nations, turns out to be anything but. This exceptional film by Rebekka Christophersen, the daughter of a real life UN diplomat, brings together a total comprehension of the possibilities of cinema; from inventive set design, to split second perfect editing, to truly wonderful acting performances from all involved (even the silent extras), to fantastic sound editing and perfect framing. The colour grading and lighting are so well done too, laying down a strong foundation for our actors to shine in every scene. But to talk about its technical aspects alone does the film a disservice as it diminishes the playfulness that can be found within. For example, one scene in particular involving our character/ filmmaker frantically washing a table is a special moment that brings to mind contemporary dance: the camera becomes a dance partner and the fourth wall becomes broken. Worth mentioning also is a speech that is so perfect for its performance of a political speech, it enters an uncanny valley, providing both horror and humour in equal amounts."
