The Knife - Full Of Fire (Short Film)

Not 100% safe for work, so in order to stay within site guidelines I'm just going to supply a link to it...

The Knife - Full Of Fire (Short Film)

The director says...


"The film 'Full of Fire' started to grow as an embryo in the song´s lines 'Who looks after my story'. Who takes care of our stories when the big history, written by straight, rich white men, erase the complexity of human´s lives, desires and conditions? The film 'Full of Fire' consists of a network of fates, fears, cravings, longings, losses, and promises. Fates that at first sight seem isolated from each other, but if we pay attention, we can see that everything essentially moves into each other. Our lives are intertwined and our eyes on each other, our sounds and smells, mean something. Our actions create reality, we create each other. We are never faceless, not even in the most grey anonymous streets of the city. We will never stop being responsible, being extensions, of one another. We will never stop longing for each other, and for something else."


- Marit Östberg

Marit Östberg is a filmmaker and visual artist, based in Stockholm and Berlin. Her works are often focused on images of queer bodies and sexualities. She sees her work in a wider context of feminist fights and histories and her visual world has been described as uncompromising. Uncompromisingly current. Uncompromisingly sexy. Uncompromisingly political.

Musically, I love it. Already listened to it four times. Reminds me A LOT of some early 90s industrial sensibilities, but with some more modern techno/electronic leanings and a much cleaner sound in the mix.

Visually, this sentence from the director..

"The film 'Full of Fire' consists of a network of fates, fears, cravings, longings, losses, and promises."

...seems very apt. Only it's all being done through visual symbolism and metaphor. I imagine different people will take completely different meanings from watching the exact same scenes. Particularly in relation to their sex and/or sexual preference.

I thought it was interesting enough to post here, anyway.
