Directed by Felicia Konrad, Johan Haugen

EarthLove is a poetic music/dance film with 6 dancers, filmed in the city of Malmö, south of Sweden. “There’s a revolution that needs to happen and it starts from inside each one of us. We need to wake up and fall in love with Earth. We’ve been homo sapiens for a long time. Now it’s time to become homo conscious.” Thich Nhat Hanh

Review by Andie Karvelis:

We all reside on this little blue rock called Earth. It’s our only home and it gives us so much. Oceans to swim in, grass to play in, trees that provide oxygen, plants that give us sustenance and so much more. If we don’t take care of our home, who will.

Swedish filmmakers and musicians, Kent Olofsson and Felicia Konrad have designed this love letter to the earth through music and dance. Set inside this lush, green forest with a gorgeous pergola, it is the perfect place to film this piece. The Cinematographer, Benjamin Zadig, made excellent use of this beautiful location.

There’s a wonderful contrast between the landscape and the dancers all dressed in bright colors and patterns. The clashing colors all fit the choreography and add to the persona of each dancer. Musically this takes you in so many unexpected directions while using a unique ebb and flow of dissonance. It’s whimsical, heartfelt and has a kind of psychedelic vibe to it that makes you want to just embrace nature and dance.
