TEIP: SHORT FILMS
Teip is a project that explores the encounter between film, dance and architecture. Established in 2015 by architect and filmmaker Sveinung Gjessing and dancer Mariama Slåttøy.
Initiated as a platform for cooperation between Gjessing, Slåttøy and other interested contributors with the goal of creating productions where the different art expressions generously work together, and where the result is greater than its parts.
