Short film ‘Ovetande’  preview by Gustav Asplund

Gustav in my class DM12, is an aspiring film director. Ovetande, meaning The Unknowing, is his latest short film.

“It’s about Jakob, who searches for tranquility and peace out in a far land. He comes across such place, falls in love with it and its people. He soon discovers he wants more power within the group so he undergoes a sinister act that will change his life.”

This afternoon he held a short private preview for some of us in the class. He has submitted it to Göteborg Film Festival. Below are some pictures from the screening today. However, the first image pays no justice to the beautiful cinematography of the film, so be sure to check Gustav’s Portfolio in January to see the full film.

Q&A and feedback after the screening with Gustav. 

Gustav is happy after the feedback from the screening! 

Chopard is the official partner of Cannes Film Festival, and it also handcrafts the prestigious Palme d’Or trophy in its Geneva workshops, elegantly documented in this video. 

I’ve always loved ’ making-of’s ‘, behind the scenes footage. Love this one. Beautiful.
