Kuboa (sometimesonsundays.com/films_kuboa.html) - Monday, March 26th, 9:40pm Buffalo/Niagara Marriot, Screen 1


'When the rain stops in Norway, everyone comes out to greet the sun. The parks are full – the markets are crowded – but you are still very much alone. Why do you move past others as if they don’t exist? Why protect the world from your feelings, your thoughts, your true power? Kuboå reveals the meditations of a sensitive outsider - the life and times of an ordinary Norwegian ghost.

 
 

DIRECTOR STATEMENT
Norway was a strange place for me. Extrordinarily beautiful, but also isolating and expensive. Add to that a health dose of Norwegian author Knut Hamsun, and my psyche was ripe for meditations on lonliness and the supernatural. Kuboå is not a ghost story - but a tale of feeling about the world in a ghostly way. Why are we so detached from our surroundings? Why do we limit our talents by focusing on the mundane? What keeps us from connecting with other people? The word "kuboå" is not actually a word at all. It was coined by Hamsun's protagonist in his novel, Hunger. In the throes of delirium, kuboå seems to have some indefinable spiritual significance - but the true meaning remains elusive.
