REEL Art: #3 – Miniatures
A film by Douglas Rosenberg
Miniatures is a series of small, gestural performances for the screen by members of the cast of my recent feature film, The Sea, filmed completely on location at the edge of the Baltic Sea in the footsteps of Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman on the island of Fårö, an extraordinary place that was Bergman’s home as well as the place in which he shot some of his most important and compelling films. The project explores the nature of aging and the relationship of men of my age to the landscape, to solitude and to community with a cast of largely untrained performers who come from the areas surrounding the island of Fårö. The film explores male intimacy, camaraderie and aging via men in their third age.
