Winner of the monthly selection of
The Auber International Film Festival

The Rising Woman is the winner of the monthly selection of The Auber International Film Festival. Prize in the category of best short movie filmed with a mobile phone.

This means that the movie qualifies for the final competition which will be on April 22nd.

RELEASE 2022 : ”The Rising Woman ”

(04:30 min)
This short film is a collaboration between Eytan Sivak and the artist Teresia Björk who inspired the idea and the realisation of the movie.
It was filmed with a mobile phone (Iphone 12) mainly during the peak of the covid
pandemic when society and the arts were closed down and a feeling of distance,
estrangement and suspicion shadowed our human contacts.
The story is of a woman seeking change, finding herself trapped in an Escherian world,
where endless staircases meet constantly shifting landscapes.
Materials change their texture and stagnant objects re-define themselves as mobile.
A peculiar sense of time wraps her with a feeling of a fleeting existence.
Running from or to? Where is the beginning and what is the end?
It is her own groundhog day.
The movie follows the woman’s journey through different aspects of movement.
Shift of angles, moving space/stagnant-body or moving-body/stagnant space,
camera taking the role of both performer and public and film texture shifting from
grainy to HD and back.

Teresia is teaching at Balettakademien at the dancers prof education in choreograpic supervision and dance analysis.
Due to corona performances are put forward but the planning goes on both in Sweden and abroad.
