Skjemt Blod

Gwenmarie White

2018, US, 6:04, Filmmaker Attending

SKJEMT BLOD (which translates to “bad blood” or “tainted blood” in Norwegian) is a vehicle for meditation on American brutality. The line in SKJEMT BLOD is always moving, digging stubbornly and disturbingly deeper into tropes and stereotypes rather than dismantling them. Suburban whiteness rears its ugly (but also, like, really, really pretty) head, proving that “true” brutality takes many forms, and moves with an insidious ease throughout the institutions of late-stage capitalism.
