HUNTING THE LIGHT

Hunting the Light is an award-winning, exquisitely shot film by photographer Tor Sivertstøl. We follow his journey north meeting several artists on the way who are all inspired by the beauty of their harsh surroundings.

As the light dwindles and the winter sets in, Tor meets internationally successful painter Ørnulf Oppdahl who has made his career out of painting the stark mountains around his island home, and who loves winter for it’s shades of grey, art photographer and journalist Gry Molvær Hivju who uses an old-fashioned film camera in play with the light to create abstract images; painter and graphic artist Nina Beyer who is inspired by the juxtaposition of the Lofoten peaks dropping straight into the stormy ocean and amateur astrologer Egil Enaasen who spends the dark nights looking at the wonders of the universe.
