Anima Mundi is a filmic interpretation of mythological motifs, primitive rites and notions taken from samic culture in northern Sweden. Carved figures and forms in black and white represent a pagan world of signs, and esoteric symbolism that pays scant attention to the public mind or the ephemeral quality of life and out inevitable fate. The 1988 catalogue of The Film Centre describes Anima Mundi as the ‘final shutdown between the Man of Old and the New Man’. Anima Mundi means soul of the world.
