Things that keep me up at night (se)
About
Thirteen young people from six different countries share the innermost thoughts that keep them up through the night. Videos of baby elephants, the fear of dying, of girls, and of losing someone you love. Things we rarely talk about, but often have in common.Specifications
Pedagogical value
«Things That Keep Me Up at Night» is a short film produced with the intention of educational distribution. Using phenomenological theory and a sociological process, the film explores themes like lonelyness, anxiety and the loss of friends and family, from the perspective of 13 european youths from six different countries. The films pedagogical framework lies within psychology. Poor sleep is the one symptom that is seen in almost all psychiatric and psychological disorders. Using a phenomenological stand point, the film let’s these 13 young persons talk freely about their thoughts when they can’t sleep at night. As such, the film could be used in education within psychology in regards to sleep, dreams, psychological disorders and cultural differences. It could also be used as an example within sociology, biology and foreign language studies such as german and danish. The film engages students via identification and the simplicity of the films founding idea. Things That Keep Me Up at Night will have it’s premiere at the youth film festival «BUFF» in Sweden in March 2025. In future distribution we intend to make the film available for schools, accompanied with a study guide that highlights how to work with the film as an educational tool. This is something I (the films director and producer) has done previously with the feature film «Jävla Pappa» that has been screened in 20 different high schools in Sweden together with an educational lecture as part of a program about growing up with an alcoholic parent.Info
