Koselig (noun/verb) (2020)

A mockumentary comedy about Slow TV, a real-life Norwegian phenomenon that can best be described as "marathon television coverage of an ordinary event in its entirety". At its heart, it is a simplistic yet endearing form of film that captivates foreign crowds for hours on end with its still imagery and unconventional charm. In 2011, it was the vehicle for a Norwegian film crew to set the longest live documentary record and, in 2020, it is primed to do so again. A documentary crew follows Alecko Tufte, a Slow TV creator based in America, as he sets out on this record-breaking quest. With 134+ hours to burn, Alecko spends his time between shooting introducing his beloved craft to American audiences and talking to the crew about his trials, roots, and inspirations. The grueling hours wear at the crew, but Alecko's enthusiasm is unwavering. It is not his will that is questioned but that of the crew as they begin to realize neither party may have been as clear about their intentions with the documentary as they each originally thought.
