Description

Screening with Forecast Public Art short film Andrea Steudel, April 25,

With the kind of wry humor that we’ve come to expect from Norwegian director Bent Hamer (Home for Christmas, MSPIFF 2011; Kitchen Stories), 1001 Grams offers a minimalist meditation on life’s magical abstractions.

At the Norwegian Institute of Weights and Measures, Norway’s kilo—kept under lock and key—must be transported to Paris to be calibrated. Marie is put in charge of traveling with the kilo as she contemplates obtuse scientific quantifications with more personal concepts of love, life and death.

One artist is curious about the dimly lit alleyways in downtown St. Paul. Andrea Steudel explores them after dark, and hopes people will see them in a new light.
