AUDIO PLAY MOVIE ANDJUST
"Folkloric, dystopian, surreal, satirical and brilliant, ‘Andjust’ narrates an utterly immersive journey through the detritus of materialism re-moored as if to a fairy tale The film is a treasury of documentation, a catalogue of poetry, music, animation and collage, told with a poetic voice that is both sophisticated and naïve. Myriad detail--stolen brooms, wooden figures, spoons, spoiled preserves, crows, falling airplanes, tattered garments, the startlingly carved faces of the old--joins with the whole of our innocent, magical and menacing world. It is epic work."
[ Marilyn Bowering, Canadian author ]
"The language is simply enchanting and the criticism is stinging!"

“In Andjust, the dichotomy between human and non-human as well as analog and electronic images is transcended. "
[ Kari Yli-Annala, the Niin & Näin, the philosophical magazine 4/2020, excerpts from the article ]
"It’s a complex work, well written and fabulously voiced."
[ Minou Norouzi, filmmaker, writer, curator ]
"If Andjust’s head has been broken by the shrapnel of war in places, the traveler’s is instead infested by a dogged dream of and wish for connection, peace, and harmony to be born between human fates."
