THE NAKED

Documentary/ 24 min/ 2023

Director and cinematographer: Barbora Hollan

Producer: Sarah Winge-Sørensen, Stray Dogs Norway

A room full of crumpled up paper, crumbling charcoal sticks, large wooden boards - and in the middle of it all - a naked person. Old and wrinkled, young and fit, with seeming naturalness, they pose completely still so that frustrated students can try to reproduce every detail of their bodies. But who are they? The Naked is an short documentary about the body, nudity, shamelessness and shame - and people we look at, but don't always see.

DANDELION MUM

Documentary/ 30 min/ 2018

When Ivana got bone marrow cancer, she was told she only has 2-3 years to live. 11 years later, she’s working as a visiting scientist at Harvard. But she is now caught in a bureaucratic system, and torn between staying in the US to get her treatment or returning back home to be with her family. A film about science, life and the power of hope.
