At the Stockholm Film Festival, Brian sits down with Dutch writer director Sven Bresser to talk about his debut feature Reedland, the stunning and meditative drama that has become the Netherlands’ official Oscar submission. Sven reflects on the film’s unusual blend of murder mystery and disappearing rural tradition, the influence of the reed landscape he grew up with, and the central performance by real life reed cutter Gerrit Knobbe. They discuss casting non actors, shaping cinematic language around nature, and how audiences around the world are responding to the film’s quiet exploration of fear, community and change.
