Experiencing Interruptions?

m i k

The story follows m i k, on a journey through a world where she encounters various characters who embody different forms of non-verbal communication. Each of the five scenes presents a new challenge for m i k to rediscover and adapt in her quest to build connections. Throughout her journey, m i k playfully engages in moments of self-reflection. The narrative shifts between exploring intrapersonal communication and the external world. The story unfolds through colors, shapes, garments and movement, concluding with m i k encountering something new once more, leaving the audience with a sense of continuous exploration and discovery.

The film draws inspiration from "Ik Mik Loreland” an educational television program that aired in 1994 in the Netherlands, created to support initial reading and spelling for children around 6 years old. The series aimed to make learning, reading and writing entertaining, incorporating ‘modern computer’ technology. Through the adventures of Mik, the program taught children words and letters.
For the film Marjolein Macrander reprised the role of Mik, around 30 years after playing the character in the tv series.
Like the series the film m i k explores the essence of communication, now in a more abstract and visual form.
