Marit Östberg is a filmmaker and visual artist, based in Stockholm
and Berlin. Her works are often focused on images of queer bodies and
sexualities. She sees her work in a wider context of feminist fights and
histories and her visual world has been described as uncompromising.
Uncompromisingly current. Uncompromisingly sexy. Uncompromisingly
political.
“The film ‘Full of Fire’ started to grow as an embryo in the song´s
lines ‘Who looks after my story’. Who takes care of our stories when the
big history, written by straight rich white men, erase the complexity
of human´s lives, desires and conditions? The film ‘Full of Fire’
consists of a network of fates, fears, cravings, longings, losses, and
promises. Fates that at first sight seem isolated from each other, but
if we pay attention, we can see that everything essentially moves into
each other. Our lives are intertwined and our eyes on each other, our
sounds and smells, mean something. Our actions create reality, we create
each other. We are never faceless, not even in the most grey anonymous
streets of the city. We will never stop being responsible, being
extensions, of one another. We will never stop longing for each other,
and for something else.”
