Graduation Spring 2022 - Pétur Darri Pálmason, Creative Technology

Pétur Darri will be graduating on June 4th from Creative Technology with his film "Clowning around"

An isolated middle-aged man, Andri, lives in a society that seems to be perfect, as it is considered as normal to wear painted clown masks as it is to wear trousers. People's emotions are so dull that nothing seems fun or boring. Andri finds out that he has other feelings that he does not know, when he decides to get rid of the paint. But how do you explain feelings you have never felt before, especially to your unbelieving boyfriend, let alone the whole community. The result ends in arguments, police, community denial and a cut-off face
