Brief Explanation

In a tribute to the 130 year anniversary of the Wallmans Circus Building in Copenhagen, this stunning film reunites past circus artistry with contemporary post-modern craftsmanship in an eerie and dark, yet beautiful ad. We get a glimpse inside the old mysterious building at night as it's memories are unleashed by the sounds of a 1930s song - bringing to life early 20th century bartenders, artists, and horses in captivating slow-motion images. As the old phonograph starts to skip and the song fades, the fabric of the past deteriorates in favor of today's artists. The film goes to great lengths to avoid easy commercial tricks (e.g. heartfelt characters or emotional modern music). Instead it allows space for the narrative to breathe and the imagery, silence and sounds to guide us. Thus, the building itself becomes a character while time, space and ambience forms an inherent part of its' "persona".
