OVIAS

by Ann Holmgren

A young woman embarks on a journey into a dreamlike otherworld to discover that every tiny action we do in this world, has a direct resonance in a myriad of other realms.

Ovias is one of the films in ÁRRAN 360°, a project initiated by The International Sami Film Institute in collaboration with Norwegian Film Institute and Office of Contemporary Art. The films are presented in a purpose-built giant lávvu and equipped with a 270-degree screen designed to showcase these special films.
ÁRRAN 360° started as an official part of the extended program of ́The Sámi Pavilion ́ at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale de Venezia.
