Kirsi Nevanti

Sweden (residence) °1960
en

A filmmaker with several shorts and creative documentaries
under her belt, and a characteristic personal style. In her work as a director, Nevanti has learned that “good instincts usually tell you what to do before your head has figured it out." Also, she says "Making documentaries is interpreting reality; not necessarily as it appears to be; the key is that the film must be ‘true to the spirit’ of what is portrayed. In her PhD-research Nevanti wants to conceptualize and reflect on creative processes and parallel realities in documentary film. Her point of departure is Einstein´s “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” Nevanti hopes that her research can contribute to the expansion of knowledge. In particular Nevanti wants to help develop a creative space where reflections can possibly bounce back with a new resonance.
