In a mad world, insanity is the only safe and rational reaction – so hold on tight as students from the National Film School of Denmark take you on Madness Exodus, shown on the screens at Orange Stage.
The mad have had enough of society's oppression and boring rules and are running away to create their own world. They barely have taken the first step toward the new world before the so-called normal people suddenly become desperate to keep up.
Are you ready to break out of the monotony and be part of the new world?
The short film Madness Exodus is made by Simone Schiellerup, Lina Elvekjær Biehl, Mira Thu, Lasse Abildgaard, Frederik Rosgaard.
The National Film School of Denmark and Roskilde Festival collaborate to create space for new voices, new narratives, and new ways of understanding the role of art in society – and how art can actively engage us in shaping our shared future.
Film director Simone Schiellerup makes films without rules – except for one: it must never be boring. Shaped by her own experiences with ADHD and autism, she insists on challenging what we think we know about society, art, and being human.
