In India, the cow has gained prominence as a sacred animal after a Hindutva party came into power. Violence against Dalits and Muslims—traditional consumers of beef—has also increased proportionally. In July 2016, four Dalit men were attacked for doing their caste-based job—skinning a dead cow. The episode was recorded by the perpetrators and went viral on WhatsApp. The incident shocked civil society into action, prompting them to undertake a protest march across 400 kilometers to the original site of violence, demanding freedom from their caste-based oppression. The film enters the journey of the protestors and gives an immersive account of the felt injustice and visceral energy of a protest march.

Haunted House

VR Game / Norway / 2016

Producers: Thorstein Løkensgard, Soma Karim Larsen, Herman Jensen, Tony Ha, Thomas Blomseth
Production: Westerdals Oslo ACT

The concept of our VR game is that you are a person staying in an old antique house/mansion, the game will be played in just one room. As this person you will be able to move inside the room and you can interact with certain objects. Where you walk and what you do with some objects can lead to consequences.

With a mysterious and dark room combined with scary music we will try to create a concept which will live up to the horror genre.
