              Close to Home + The Garden Caretaker

              Shubhdeep Singh Parwana, Natalia Anna Ciepiel & William Andreas Wivel / Denmark & India / 72 min

              ‘Close to Home’ is filmmaker Shubhdeep Singh Parwana’s simple and beautiful portrait of his father, shot in one long take on a bench. His father emigrated from Punjab to Copenhagen in 1974 and started a family. In 2013 he moved back to India. ‘Close to Home’ gives space to the humor, love and silence between father and son. 

              In ‘The Garden Caretaker’, a number of artists and participants come together on a project to reconnect with the close nature that we often overlook in the city. We are at a construction site around a former asphalt factory where the artists take turns taking on the role of ‘Garden Caretaker’ – a figure that invites participants to rediscover the richness of the surrounding flora and fauna in the middle of a changing urban space.

              Close to Home

              Shubhdeep Singh Parwana / Denmark & India / 2025 / World Premiere / 24 min

              A simple and beautiful portrait of a filmmaker and his Indian father, shot in one long take on a bench in Punjab.

              Two men sit on a bench. You don’t quite know where, but as their conversation unfolds, you realize that they are father and son, and that their shared history is long, complex, full of warmth and perhaps has a sore spot or two. Filmmaker Shubhdeep Singh Parwana’s father emigrated from Punjab to Copenhagen in 1974, started a family and made a life for himself. In 2013, he decided to move back to India after almost 40 years in Denmark. ‘Close to Home’ is a simple and beautiful film in one long take that contains all the humor, love and little silences in their candid conversation.

              The Garden Caretaker

              Natalia Anna Ciepiel & William Andreas Wivel / Denmark / 2025 / World Premiere / 48 min

              An art project is reconnecting with nature and other species at an old asphalt factory that is being converted into a new urban district.

              At a former asphalt factory construction site in a Copenhagen suburb, a group of artists and citizens aer participating in a project to reconnect with the remnants of nature that we often overlook in the city. The boundaries between artist, gardener and biologist are osmotic in a project where five different artists, each with their own practice, share the role of ‘Garden Caretaker’ – a figure that invites participants to experience and rediscover the richness of the surrounding flora and fauna in the middle of a changing urban space.
