Kristina's Harbor

"Gunvor Nelson's two-part film was recorded in Kristinehamn where she grew up and will return to live. KRISTINA'S HARBOR is an impressionistic depiction of daily life in this small Swedish city, suggesting how it has or has not changed in relation to its history." - Steve Anker

"In Nelson's cinema of evocation we shift from past to present ... from the flat space of the film frame to the three-dimensionality of objects. Constructed through collaging snapshots, live-action footage and small objects, and through painting on glass and photographs, Nelson's beautiful, enigmatic animations have a personal vocabulary of the found, the made, the remembered, the imagined." - Kathy Geritz

1992, 16mm, color/so
