A few Midnight Sun Films
We selected a few films that touched us.The trailers should convince you, otherwise Laura’s words will.
We asked our lovely guide and volounteer at the festival to tell us more about the spirit of Midnight Sun films.
“For me the best music is all about the music. Midnight Sun Film Festival has taught me that the best movies are just about the movies. What I mean is that in the music and movies the elements needed to build an art piece are the most important and most interesting. Music and films that are so often more about the celebrities than the story and how the piece is made. I’ll try to explain.
Example number 1. Experiencing the moving gig in the music festival does not need any particular stage show whit the fire, lights, media or artists drawing the audience. It is enough that the music is played on live in that particular place where you are. And the music itself is the most touching and beautiful element of your experience.
Example number 2. The best movies do not lift up any celebrities. The story is not about who is acting in the film or how creatively the sponsor’s products are presented in the film. The stories in the best films are build from light and shadow, from filming and editing, from sound and silence, from directing and maybe little bit also from acting.
In Midnight Sun Film Festival it is not about entertaining or pleasing or even giving the audience
what is expected them to want. Even they seem to be pretty pleased.
Midnight Sun Film Festival is about beauty of the real films.
It is celebration of living light.”

Clouds of Sils Maria
by Olivier Assayas
Ballaad (Free Range)
by Veiko Õunpuu
Un poison violent (Love like Poison)
by Katell Quillévéré
Le Meraviglie (the Wonders)
by Alice Rohrwacher
Real Films. Celebration of living light. I totally agree with Laura.
Some kind of truth, made easier to reach in the atmosphere of the festival.
Considering Laura’s definition, Le Meraviglie is definitly the film who moved me the most.
Third and last day of festival. Not much sleep. No darkness for one week except in screening venues.
After conferences all “night” with new friends and random people on the river bank,
and a conference of Olivier Assayas,
I was on a cloud, floating above and through the courtyard of the old school.
I had all the emotions and tiredness gathered during the trip, available for this last movie. I was aware.
We sat under the big tent, the most symbolic venue of the festival.
The film just blew me up.

The director Alice Rorhwacher put nice words on this feeling I had.
She said her movie was like a flat, a house, she wanted spectators to explore,
move in, go from one room to the other, make their own way.
When asked by someone in the audience, why she chose to name the main character Gelsomina (character in La Strada by Fellini), Alice Rohrwacher answered:
“Gelsomina is not the name I chose, it’s the name her parents chose.
I mean, I think the names tell a lot about who these people are.
When you know a child and her name is Gelsomina you can imagine a lot about her parents”
#Awesome
People often compare her to Fellini. Well, for the amount of emotion shared to the audience,
they’re equally genious to me.

Cloud of Sils Maria isn’t just a film, it’s a genuine work of art. I wasn’t a fan of Stewart’s acting in the Twilight series, but she was born for this role. It’s a 5/5 for me.
