'Tonight at the Magic Theatre' is an experimental film shot on Super 8 in the forest landscape of Bona, Co. Östergötland and at an old provincial theatre in the town Vadstena, Sweden.Animated geometric shapes move between the artificial nature of the theatre sets and the real landscape. Questioning the fine line between reality and dream, truth and fiction. The soundtrack by Sofia Ek utilises found sounds from the shoots coupled with science fiction references. A theatre of the mind where we are thrown between seasons and settings, not unlike the botched logic of dreams. It is being exhibited surrounded by a laser cut plywood forest, which references the film's theatre sets.
