RESIDENCY: Trygve Luktvasslimo
Trygve Luktvasslimo (b. 1978) is a Norwegian filmmaker and visual artist living in Lofoten.
During his residency at Velferden in the winter of 2024-2025, Trygve developed, composed and wrote his new film script Snekkersprekken, a troubled love story between a tax evader and a war deserter, again with the rural village as the epicenter when the past catches up with them.
::::::::MORE ABOUT TRYGVE LUKTVASSLIMO::::::::
Trygve takes the district's perspective on global and existential themes as a starting point. For example, the short story film Shallow Water Blackout from 2019, about the luxury cruise ship The World sailing past Lofoten with two climate revolutionary youths who intend to sink the ship to the bottom of the ocean, with all the adults on board. Or Mulighetsperleporten (2021), a radio play about life and death with an opportunistic, northern Norwegian suburban mayor, a kindergarten baroness and a board wholesaler in the center. His first feature film The Bitcoin Car (2023) is a musical about a goat farmer in the small village of Valberg, who has had a huge bitcoin mine placed in the middle of the cemetery.

At Velferden Trygve worked on developing a new film project, and part of this work was about music. He composed, among other things, a song called In Orbit, which he has turned into a nice little demo clip for his next residency.
