The dance film 40 M UNDER is Alexander Ekman’s first lengthy film project. The film, which was recorded in the summer of 2009 in the former reactor hall at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, focuses on a few people who carry out a type of installation underground.
“What makes film so interesting for me is the opportunity to play with perspective, tempo and images in a way that the stage does not permit. Film also offers a proximity that makes it possible to reinforce and showcase details. The strong personalities of the Cullberg Ballet dancers become even more distinct on film than on stage,” says Alexander Ekman.
