Livet av Havnes

About This Movie

Livet av Havnes is this intriguing mix of documentary and performance art. It’s like watching a live poem unfold; Eirik Havnes really draws you in with his words while everything around him comes to life. You’ve got 50 contributors—filmmakers, dancers, musicians—all moving through the streets of Oslo, creating this vibrant backdrop. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, and it feels like a snapshot of a specific moment in time, 45 minutes to be exact. Not your usual documentary fare, it merges poetry with the rawness of street life. There’s something deeply existential about it, too, as it ponders life’s nuances set against the urban landscape. Definitely a unique piece.
