«This story takes the audience on a journey of discovery through memory, bravely and continuously wondering and questioning. The film is so deeply vulnerable and personal yet creates layers that are relatable and hints at the opportunities the evolution of the digital images created for the filmmaker’s generation. We move decades back in the filmmaker’s life, an intimate yet self-aware deep dive search for meaning and the core of himself. This is a meta story, about individuation and reflections in the form of the story in film and moving images.”

THE WEIGHT OF SIGHT
Synets Vekt
The Weight of Sight is a playful and deeply personal essay where director Truls Krane Meby, through a massive archive of his own material - anything from DV-tapes to 35mm - explores the last 20 years of digital development - how it’s influenced the images we make, and our bodies. What kind of images do we get of the world now that everyone is a photographer, and what does it do with how we unfold our identities? How has the internet both captured and freed us? And will Truls even dare to show this film?
Produced by Krane Meby Film, Lofoten Film Collective and Altibox.
Starring Truls Krane Meby, Sarah Timm, and Fredrik von Lüttichau.
Cinematography by Saskian Schubert.
