Cold Storage

On a desolate arctic shore, a lonely ice fisherman discovers his prehistoric counterpart frozen in the sea ice, and thaws him out as his newfound soul brother. A wild all-night drinking and dancing party in the fisherman's tent ensues, but in the harsh light of the morning he must once again confront his own loneliness and dependency. As the ice melts under the foundations of his life, he is forced to even question the reality of the space and time surrounding him. Cold Storage is a short dance film that pays homage to the virtuosic physical performances and melancholy comedy of the classic silent screen. It is a story told without dialogue, through movement, dance and music. With its blend of deadpan Nordic humour and oddball fantasy, it is ultimately a film about friendship, companionship and solitude. The main character of the film may have a problem with drink, but what he really wants is not another beer – it's someone with whom to share it. (Nashville Film Festival)
