Itonje Søimer Guttormsen: Gritt
Outdoor feature film screening + Q&A with filmmaker
The film follows the title character on her journey from Bushwick, Brooklyn, to Oslo and beyond. Gritt is on a passionate quest to manifest her performance, “The White Inflammation”, a radical collective ritual meant to pierce the complacent fog cloaking privileged Scandinavia. With each hurdle, Gritt grows more desperate, and her mission to bury capitalism and the patriarchy takes her to increasingly unexpected places. Pushed by forces beyond her control, Gritt finds her way into the deep forests, where nature opens hidden doors.

Fritjof Capra: The Emergence of Novelty
Gjert Rognli: What Nature Knows
Performance, Film, Photos, and Installation

Gjert Rognli’s project What Nature Knows - Dan maid luondu diehtá reflects a personal connection with Arctic Northern Norway – a region defined by light, darkness, and stark seasonal contrasts. Rognli, who hails from the Indigenous Sámi people, works across film, photography, sculpture, and performance, drawing on a passionate bond with the organic world. This multimedia project is a mythological journey into deep forests and across misty waterways—where surreal phenomena guide the viewer through the unknown.
