ABOUT THE FILM
Every person has the right to an environment that is conducive to health and to a natural environment whose productivity and diversity are maintained. Natural resources shall be managed […] which will safeguard this right for future generations as well.
(§112, The Norwegian Constitution)
In Norway’s first and only climate trial, environmental organizations took the state to court for breaching its people’s human rights by granting oil licenses in the Arctic. The Play of Everyman is a forceful and stringent Direct Cinema portrayal, examining the seminal case exclusively through the courtroom proceedings.
Norway flaunts an image of sustainability and care for the environment to the world. At the same time Norway ranks as the 7th highest exporter of carbon dioxide in the world. These paradoxes are unveiled in unnerving detail in Thomas Østbye’s direct cinema study.
The documentary was filmed exclusively inside the courtroom in Borgarting Court of Appeal 2019 and in the Supreme Court House 2020. The 31-minute film is a selection of about 100 hours of trial. The project also consists of a five-hour installation in a gallery, where the public can really “sit trough a day in court” and follow the case, the people and the judicial system more closely.
