Arnhem is a short experimental documentary film which was supposed to focus heavily on framing people in their daily lives. Initially, I aimed to film large groups of people to showcase the sheer amount of things happening simultaneously within a given frame. A slight nod to works such as Godfrey Reggio’s 1982 film Koyaanisqatsi where the film establishes patterns of movement by using time- and hyper-lapses; a sort of anti-thesis to Jean Epstein’s writings on using slow motion film as a sort of microscope of time. However, with Arnhem, I envisioned creating a ‘more realistic’ representation of reality in real-time. One of the biggest challenges of this assignment turned out to be the German laws on DSGVO (translated: GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)). This privacy regulation came into effect in May 2018 and regulates what kind of data may be produced and published by the general public. Due to this limitation and in order to circumvent it, I took it upon myself to take the train across the border to the Dutch town of Arnhem where I filmed all of the footage used in the short film.
