DREAMING ARIZONA, DK, EE, NO 2022

Winslow, a small town in Arizona, is surrounded by nothing but
desert, highways and railway lines. The pupils in the local high
school want to escape the misery of their hometown by putting on
a self-written theatre play. The director Jon Bang Carlson
follows their rehearsals and captures the dreams and worries of
the young people in images that blend fiction and reality and
bring the place’s mythical character to life. Michael Kohl

Biography

Jon Bang Carlson

The Danish director graduated from the Danish Film School in 1976
and has since made more than 40 films. The distinctive feature of
his work lies in the hybrid form between fiction and documentary,
with the help of which he approaches marginalised people.
