How it feels

This Danish experimental film from 1992 uses scratch and key techniques to layer images and sounds. It shows people circling each other in a state of unfulfilled desire, creating patterns that both connect and trap them.

What happens

Sværm er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1992 instrueret af Jens Wille og Simon K. Boberg efter deres manuskript. Vi sværmer om hinanden uden at turde indlede den kontakt, vi så febrilsk ønsker at opnå. Derved skaber vi mønstre, der knytter os sammen, men samtidigt låser os fast i hver vores 'lag' af uforløst længsel. Ved scratch og keyteknik bringer videoen disse lag af længsel sammen, og forsøger samtidigt at bryde ud af mønstrene. Noget flygter i græsset... (?Schade!!) (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
