Venue:

Scheduled: Sat 15 Nov

Director: Gunnar Hall Jensen
Country: Norway

For over two decades, Gunnar Hall Jensen has filmed his son Jonathan’s journey from childhood to adulthood, capturing his drive to conquer the world. But as Jonathan grows older, so does the distance between them. Gunnar does what he knows best to stay connected — he films, he talks, and he tries to understand.

However, when Jonathan is drawn into a world of social media influencers, promises of easy success, and hyper-masculine ideals, reality begins to slip away.

Portrait of a Confused Father is a raw and heartbreaking story about love, loss, and a father's desperate struggle to reach his son — and himself. It’s a film about losing control, but also about never giving up hope.

Also available to watch online nationwide.
