In a pre-apocalyptic Norway, a man whose head resembles a gas mask searches for love through a circus performer as the world edges closer to collapse. Blending allegory and fantasy, Filther becomes an existential reflection on human connection, vulnerability, and hope in the face of looming destruction.

Simen Nyland is a Norwegian filmmaker with a background in music videos and experimental cinema. His works often blur the line between surreal fantasy and stark realism, using striking visuals to explore themes of human vulnerability. Filther is his latest Short, produced in Tromsø.
