de hundrede mand (2019)

Overview

An artist film about the extraction of the mineral cryolite from Greenland. While cryolite was extremely valuable as it was used in the aluminium production and therefore became important for the production of weapons and aircraft industry during WW2, its dust was also poisonous for the workers and made their bones fragile and deformed. The work itself utilizes a piece of cryolite as a carrier of filmic archive material from its production and physical consequences on the landscape and the health of the workers.
