Faces
BY
Liselotte Wajstedt

Sami faces are like landscapes and their faces are integrated in the landscape, making them part of a bigger entity. The music is by Peter Svenzon and it is made with vocals only, without instruments. The film is included in a dance performance: ‘Sami’ by Charlotte Öfverholm.
