AUTOSCOPY

Claes Nordwall | United Kingdom 2020 | Experimental, Fiction | 14 min

A loner escapes the noise of city life to record ambient music utilising sounds of the wilderness. The discovery of an old abandoned floatation tank and experimenting with psilocybin mushrooms evokes a strange alchemy of deep-rooted memories, taking him on a disorientating voyage deep into the heart of nature and ultimately; deeper into himself.

The film features an original score from LA-based Evan Caminiti, also part of renowned doom duo ’Barn Owl’ who has conjured a soundtrack of guitar drone mixed with analog synths, both intriguing and quietly terrifying. It was shot in anamorphic in a remote forest location of Värmland, Sweden 2019 by Swedish cinematographer Max Larsson.

The film premiered at Nevada City Film Festival on Aug. 28, 2020 and was screened on a 32ft screen in a Drive-in theatre as part of ”Best of the fest” It was also nominated in the categories ”Best Director” & ”Best Cinematography” at the Horrible Imaginings Film Festival in LA 2020.
