Thunder in my heart

Synopsis

A film about female jockeys at a Swedish horse racing track.

n.b.k. catalogue text

In her experimental film THUNDER IN MY HEART (2016), Hellsgård continues her investigation of realism and phenomenology. Filmed with small cameras, Hellsgård captures the connection between a female jockey and her horse in motion and aims at detaching the inner emotional worlds of the protagonists and transferring them to the image sequences. With slowed down images and intense sound elements, she opens a visually stunning and sensory experience of horse racing to the viewer.
