Hotter than before (2024) · experimental short · 06:40 min · English with English subtitles · Norway

Hotter than Before is a short film where intimate footage of children playing on a beach unfolds alongside a dissonant soundscape of breaking news headlines. As soft close-ups meet the urgency of climate crisis reportage, “Norway sued over deep sea mining plans”, “Hottest year on record”, the film reflects on the contradiction of innocence amid irreversible change. What futures are we making, even as the sea continues to shimmer?
