Living Forward: Meditation, Film & Performance
Join the director of 'A Sweetness from Nowhere', Ester Bergsmark, for a short guided meditation before the film, followed by a performance after the film.
Join us for the opening of our ART:CINEMA programme at SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst with a special screening of A Sweetness From Nowhere.
Before the film begins, director Ester Bergsmark invites the audience into a short guided meditation — an embodied starting point designed to shift the way we experience cinema. Rather than simply watching, we begin by tuning in: to breath, to sensation, to the physical presence of being in a room together. It’s an invitation into a more sensual and attentive way of engaging with film.
After the screening, the evening continues with a live performance that responds to and expands the film’s emotional landscape, extending the experience beyond the screen. An event that treats cinema not just as something to see, but as something to feel.
