Slow Motions - Directed by Øivind Klungseth Zahlsen

Project Type: Experimental Short Film

Project Title: Slow Motions

Brief Synopsis: Slow Motions is a quiet, poetic short — an audiovisual sonata where coherence arrives like a sudden chord, as seemingly arbitrary fragments fold into fleeting meaning. Amid the shifting textures, a distant echo of humour glimmers.

The film features the haunting voice of Javanese vocalist Peni Candra Rini, known internationally for her collaborations with artists such as Kronos Quartet. Her vocal presence lends the film both gravity and levity — a ritual undercurrent that binds the ephemeral to the emotional.
