dr. forsdahl’s curve is a mini-portrait of the Norwegian
physician and scientist Anders Forsdahl. He worked as
a physician in the South-Varanger district in Finnmark county,
and later a scientist and professor at the University of
Tromsø. Forsdahl was shocked by the high mortality rate in
Finnmark, in particular that so many men died from a heart
condition. He was the first scientist to prove that poor living
conditions may cause high late-life mortality rates.

«My Kiruna will be demolished and crushed to the ground.»
When I first heard that they were going to relocate my
hometown, I got scared, I panicked. What would happen to
my memories? What would remain from the past? This is a
film about my childhood neighborhood and the city I recall.
It explores the city’s construction around a big mine, as
well as the city as a monument over modern existence. The
film also deals with reconciliation with one’s past, and the
feeling of losing one’s security.
