With private Home Movie- and Home Video materials from the 20ties till today.
The people of Sandnes picture themselves, their live and their city on 8mm-, S8mm-, 16mm film, on VHS, Mini DV, Camcorder, Mobile phones…..
From the early days of cinematography to iphone movies, from home cinema to the world wide stage of Youtube.
What was, is, and will be celebrated in Sandnes?
What was and is worth to be seen and to be pictured in Sandnes?
What did and do the people of Sandnes film and keep records of?
What image will one get of Sandnes only through audio visual records of its inhabitants?
A research of private moving pictures from a place and its inhabitants, selected and put into the form of a kinematographic atlas. Christmas, birthdays, soccer, new years, holidays, car races, gymnastic, the first schooldays, marriages, dogs and cats….private histories reflecting history. Individual records of similar happenings and events, at the same or similar places of the same city, arranged associatively and – with reference to Abi Warburgs image atlas MNEMOSYNE – in search for analogies and similarities, reveal general habits, attitudes, characteristics of the people of Sandnes, mirroring live and culture in the course of time.
PRIVATE SANDNES tells a collective fictitious story, with records of private lives.
