Ten Meter Tower (16’)
Swedish title Hopptornet
Co-directed with Axel Danielson.
A ten meter diving tower. People who have never been up there before have to choose whether to jump or climb down. The situation itself highlights a dilemma: to weigh the instinctive fear of taking the step out against the humiliation of having to climb down.
TEN METER TOWER is an entertaining study of the human in a vulnerable position.
