The One Who Lives Silently
“The book is different than the movie!” We've all heard or experienced it -- but why would we want a movie and a book to be the same, even if the two mediums naturally speak separate languages?
In 2022, director Puk Grasten directed a film adaptation of Leonora Christina Skov's autobiographical novel, *Den Der Lever Stille — * a bestseller that expresses the author's writing style and personality. A film adaptation is a special art, and portraying a personal story is a discipline in itself. When to interpret the original material, when to be faithful to it, how do you choose which chapters to omit — and how do you argue your choices to an author who writes about his own life?
Come along for a conversation about interpreting and understanding film language, the written language, and personal language when writer Leonora Christina Skov and director Puk Grasten talk about their collaboration around He Who Lives Stillly.
The conversation will be held in collaboration between FilmFyn and SPROGENSE.
