From this Day Forth
Jonatan Egholm Keis / Denmark / 2026 / World Premiere / 13 min
A highly cinematic hybrid reflection on the fragility of life in which a director explores the boundaries of the documentary form with an actor.
A director invites an actor into an experiment about the limits of documentary. Together they attempt to better understand a heart attack that almost proved fatal for the actor on September 27, 2016.
In the actor’s home, they re-enact the moment as a series of staged situations in which memory, performance, and intuition intertwine in a peculiar way. For what happens when reality is re-enacted, and where does the line between documentation and fantasy lie? The result is a cinematic, absurd, and unsettling reflection on the mundanity of everyday life—and on the fragility and transience of life.
