ØDELAND (full postapocalyptic short film) with Rudi Køhnke and Alex Høgh Andersen

WINNER OF BEST MALE ACTOR IN A LEAD PERFORMACE: RUDI KØHNKE. EKKO SHORTLIST AWARDS 2016
In a post-apocalyptic world in human decay, a protective father and his teenage daughter are forced to bring a mute teenage boy to their hide-out, which puts their relationship under decisive pressure and expose them to outer dangers.
ØDELAND is a short drama about walking the thin line between doubt and hope and the choice between truth and lie - a story about a father wanting to do everything in his power to sustain hope in his daughter in a seemingly hopeless world.
Made by a team of students of Danish independant film school, 18 Frames.

[@merrirothan3671]

I agree

Yep and that's because so many film studios are lead by boring, money hungry individuals who are gatekeeping cinema and constantly want to reuse and recycle antiquated movie tropes.

[@RomeoWhiskey692]

This was outstanding . Whoever wrote this understands what it's really like ... No great heroics ... nothing is simple ... nothing black and white . Just hard decisions , made with little or no hard facts , and no time to think . Fear an ever-present thing , gnawing at you ... Nothing is what it seems ... and you can never be sure of anything. The fatigue and sadness from mean , vicious things happening , one right after another ... with no hope of relief ... weighing you down every moment ... You do what you can , with what you have ... and then live with what you've done . The blood on your hands never quite washes away ... you can still see it , even if others don't . Fate , or God ...whatever you wish to believe ... seems to delight in torturing us with circumstances that seem to be one thing , and then , after you have acted , is found to be something else entirely . It happens too often to be random chance ... but we shy away from believing that there is some greater ... malicious force at work . It is no wonder that primitive peoples feared both Gods and the Devils ... Viewed the Gods as petty and spiteful , taking delight in playing games with men's lives ... We want the world to be a good place , or at least neutral ... even with all evidence to the contrary . As a father of daughters , I was relieved to see her survive this time ... but knowing the next horror is waiting for her , because she did . And yes ... I have lied to my daughters too ... to let them believe that there is a bit of goodness in the world .... It's what fathers do ...

[@jesperquistgaard]

Wauw. This was very moving and poetic. Thank you for this. I love that you felt something and connected with it. :)

[@RomeoWhiskey692]

Jesper Quistgaard Indeed , I did ... I have had to make those shoot/no shoot decisions ... and no matter how many times you tell yourself you did it right ... there will always be that cold feeling up your spine , that maybe you didn't . Once the bullet is out of the barrel ... there is no taking it back . Most men do not kill out of malice , but out of love ... love for God , country , family ... or maybe just the guys standing on either side of him in the fight ... We tell ourselves we take life to save lives ... and pray , on those dark nights when we are all alone , and have to face our real selves ... that it's true . But I think , my friend , that you and I both have heard the mocking laughter of the mad Gods on the wind ... taunting us for the lies we tell others ... and more shameful ... the ones we tell ourselves . The causes may lie with them , and the games they play ... but the blame lies squarely on us ... As men , we cannot shirk it , nor dodge it , but must accept it ... take it on our shoulders , to carry , like the weapons and gear that is our lot to bear . No complaints ... it's what we signed up for , when we accepted being a man , and all that goes with that name .

[@jesperquistgaard]

Romeo Whiskey sounds like a story I'd like to hear. Very powerful. If you have want to, you can email me your story at [e-mail] :)

[@RomeoWhiskey692]

Jesper Quistgaard I'm ex military , and have worked for many years now in the security field as a contractor . I'm not one of the high-speed , low-drag guys that you want to talk to . I know a bunch of those guys , and they have much better stories than I do . I don't tell the " he came out of the bushes , looking away from me , weapon down , so I shot him ... " stories . Most everybody I know , tells the funny stories ... The stupid shit that goes wrong . The " ... and then , I tripped and fell on my ass ..." stuff ... Sometimes the cautionary tales ... the " There we were , doing our thing ... fat , dumb and happy ... when it all blew up ... " kind of thing ... In the last few years , I have spent a good deal of time teaching various people the how , what , where , ( and most importantly) ... WHY ... of employing weapons , gear and equipment. And just as critical ... what to do after the shooting stops ... Using trauma kits and advanced first aid ... for all the big , bloody holes ... sucking lung wounds ... cuts , burns , broken bones and such , that result from such activities... It is truly astounding , the amount of damage that modern weapons can do to a human body , in a short amount of time . How to get medical help on the scene , and how to get your casualties out , without doing them further damage , or getting them killed doing it . Something that the movies seldom go into , and shooters don't want to think about , but desperately need to know . Not a lot of money in it , but a great deal of satisfaction , in helping others get up to speed , as far as weapons handling goes , while gaining a safety and security mindset. I might shoot you a couple of story ideas , sometime , if you guys are interested... but they will be fiction . An amalgamation of stories guys have told me , and things I've seen done ... I'm sure you have individuals around you , who can tell pretty much the same ones . Keep doing what you guys are doing ... I really like your style .

[@matycee]

Hah! Sucker. You don't have to lie to your daughters to show them their is goodness in the world you dope. Just show them. There's plenty. I'm constantly directing my 10 yr old girl's attention to goodness around her but get this: I show her by creating it myself as well. I'm like, duh.

[@uncommonsense9395]

Someone explain to me why so many of the shorts on KZbin are so much better than anything in the theaters.

[@hellothere7345]

I know right

[@Databyter]

Because they are not dumbed down, and therefore, are thought provoking. It also helps that in many cases they are not driven by political agendas being pushed by Hollywood and the like.

[@duvine3882]

Online leaks loosing money before they come out' resorting to reboots instead afterwards.

[@JimAsAuthor]

They're free to tell their story without the interference of the various "moneyed interests"

[@dandaman4985]

Shorts have a purely creative motivation behind them, as opposed to justifting astronomical theatrical movie making expenses. Plus, lately there is an infestation of pointless, storyless, thoughtless bs shown in movie theatres, with content so bad its a wonder how it made it past sceenings.

[@ant1m0ny32]

How is this one of the best films I’ve seen and it’s only half an hour long???? It’s bloody fantastic!!!!!

So good. Could have been a whole film.

[@theoyancey]

has the feel of the movie The Road. Great job at setting the scene and giving a real feel of hopelessness. The fact that he wants his daughter to believe in goodness in a time like that is really telling the role that a father plays. Kudos to the film makers

[@thecocktailian2091]

Understandable that the father won an award for his performance. You know a film is superior when the time just flies by. I thought I was ten minutes in and then it ended. Very enjoyable.

This gutted me 😢 I didn’t expect to be crying for the “bad ones,” too. Such an amazing film - and outstanding acting! edit: this was a student film? remarkable!

[@keionchase2144]

Canibals?

[@17MrLeon]

@@keionchase2144 They were not the bad ones they were just family looking for Jakub but it was every reason to thing they were the canibals.

[@turankhan2381]

@@17MrLeon Exactly Leon! I too thought they were not cannibals, but just another family out there. So if the father just wrestled the kid (who had no bullets) instead of immediately shooting him, then both of these two survivor groups might have bonded instead and grew to start a community. It's heavily implied that Clara is into Jakup and not just because he's probably the only other boy around her age. Still, I really like this short for keeping us guessing and just like Romeo Whiskey said, it's the dread of not knowing, not being sure. After all, they DID find the kid so near the cannibal's hospital base. However, for me, the kid would be having withdrawals and shakes and other symptoms of consuming human meat, which weren't shown at all, so I really really doubt he or his family are cannibals. I'll have to rewatch the short and see by silhouettes of the people dragging the latest naked victim.

[@cripplecreekoutdoors2457]

I have to say this is by far one of the best short films I have watched. Outstanding performance.

WOW. I have watched a few of these the last few days and this has been by few the best and most believable movie I have watched. This is the most believable movie so far, regular people making hard decisions. Great job.

[@lgdmumbler7026]

Somehow in half an hour this movie manages to evoke more emotion and sadness than almost any full-length, full-production post apocalyptic movie I've seen prior. I'm struggling to think of more than a few AAA titles that come close to hitting this mark. Absolutely heart-wrenching, and amazingly done. I wish more cinema was exactly like this.

The story was lean, the moral clear, and no moment was wasted which keep you engrossed.bbsolutely fantastic.

[@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968]

Type "Postapocalyptic" into the KZbin search and hundreds of amateur films appear, most are, let's say lacking a certain quality. But this one is really good. Looks like someone used their WW2 gun collection as props, but that's just fine. The acting was spot on and the scenario's believable. A film short that leaves the viewer wanting a sequel must be good.

[@DQINBETWEEN]

Wow I am learning Danish and came across this film. Amazing!

[@jonathanporter5223]

This short film was nothing short of amazing. The story that unfolds is gritty and really impactful with it's message. You really can't trust anyone in a post apocalyptic world, not even your own family. Yet there are things and people in said world that are out to get you and deprive you of anything they can. Sometimes their intention is just the same as your own; survival. This concept sat heavy throughout the film and did a excellent job portraying it. He lied to keep his daughter safe, along with whatever little innocence she has left. Great acting, beautiful cinematography with perfect locations, well edited, and produced. Definitely a thumbs up.

[@srmj71]

Hands down the best short on KZbin.

[@tmengucor]

[@Linnie1021]

I've been watching these post-apocalyptic short stories.. over a year after the pandemic started.. and after all the chaos and economic collapse started in the U.S.. In my opinion, we are on the verge of a war.. and I have found useful information in these stories. Although the principle of lying is inherently wrong, this man did right by not divulging the truth to his daughter as she is fragile.. and he is trying to instill some hope into her life. Excellent storyline, as well as superb acting!

[@mrplatnumsugaray]

Jesper Quistgaard excellent piece of work !! I am so tired of the same exact apocalyptic story with cheesy effects , lackluster acting and dumb plot . You kept it simple but beautiful and managed to concentrate more on a fathers love for his daughter than the apocalypse ! Believable story and Jakob had to die or the father would have lost everything. Jakob’s family or comrades would have killed them to survive seeing they were cannibals . That was beautiful that the father lied to his daughter to insure hope . To hold on to a piece of humanity in its darkest of times !!!

Ethical dilemmas....finding out you shot a kid, who was just letting his father know where he was. Jakob didn't turn on them....he was just being a good son. The father was just trying to find his son. No mean intentions. But, a great story of "what would you do?", for your children. Thank you!

The dad and her? When did she do that to her arm? Needs more answers, and I would watch to see them. Her facial expressions were on point, as was his, and nice job by all the actors and directors/producers of this film..Now make us the rest of it please
