What I Miss About People, and What I Don't Miss About People
BY
Marte Aas

What I Miss About People, and What I Don’t Miss About People is a vision of a future world where people are gone and where a lone dog describes what she misses and what she does not miss with people. The dog moves around in a deserted rock landscape where she has settled for unknown reasons. This landscape, with small traces of human activity, suggests a disaster that has wiped out all of civilization, while hinting at human exploitation of natural resources as a possible cause of the disaster. However, the dog does not appear to be affected, it talks about extremely prosaic things as it traverses around the quarry. The use of double exposures and the soundscape is underlining the alienated perspective in the film. How is the world constituted when man is no longer present?
