EYE-TO-EYE

We make eye contact with other people all the time, but rarely with other species. This poetic nature documentary takes us on a journey from the Norwegian west coast to the boreal forest in the east. Through intimate moments and exchanged glances it draws us into a sensuous and more-than-human world where there is an unspoken language that seeps out of the terrain.

Director Biography - Siri Linn Brandsøy, Lasse Huldt Pedersen

Filmmakers Siri Linn Brandsøy and Lasse Huldt Pedersen balance between various documentary projects and life as wild sheep farmers by Klavfjorden in Western Norway. Through their films, they explore our relationship with nature, and dive deep into various landscapes and ecosystems to portray the organisms that belong there.

For large parts of the year, they live a semi-nomadic life that offers moments rich in contrast and close to nature. In the short documentary film "EYE-TO-EYE", they weave together the coast and the forest with stunning visuals and calming, immersive soundscapes which give a glimpse into their lives as shepherds with cameras, and points the lens at what they care about the most: the living world.
