Norway

Details

An Oslo-based filmmaker and theorist, Elisabeth Brun (b. 1977) explores the impact of technology on perception and territory. Holding a PhD in Media Studies from the University of Oslo and a degree from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, she directed documentaries for NRK for a decade before turning to the film essay. Her work, awarded the Ivan Juritz Prize for Creative Experiment, has been presented internationally at venues such as Vienna Shorts, LIAF, the Seattle Art Museum, and Grimstad. Through film, installation, and writing, she investigates the entanglement between digital tools and lived experiences, often anchoring her visual research in her Norwegian origins.

2025 – Big Tech Blues Role : Director
Synopsis : When the filmmaker’s childhood school in a small village in northern Norway was bought by Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starlink program, it sparked a deep reflection on the stakes of technological infiltration. Both rural and intimate, Big Tech Blues offers an insider’s perspective on the subtle intrusion of the digital industry into isolated areas. It explores the complex "double bind" of technology: our growing dependence on it, even as we confront its consequences.
