/0 Comments/in , , , /by

The new documentary 'Spiegel' by Eva Sjerps will premiere on 23 September during the Teledoc Campus screenings at the NFF.

 

In this intimate documentary you can see how horses from a small herd are used for coaching sessions with young people with various problems. The horses respond to incoherence between behavior and underlying feeling, causing the young people to confront underlying patterns, themes and feelings. How do the horses react to the youngsters? And what does the reaction of the horses bring about in the young people? The sessions are closely observed and visualized in a sensory way.

 

During the first block of the Teledoc Campus films, from 13:00 to 15:10, 'Spiegel' will be screened. Tickets will soon be available on the NFF website.
