Synopsis

The Weight of Sight is a playful and deeply personal essay where director Truls Krane Meby, through a massive archive of his own material – anything from DV-tapes to 35mm – explores the last 20 years of digital development – how it’s influenced the images we make, and our bodies. What kind of images do we get of the world now that everyone is a photographer, and what does it do with how we unfold our identities? How has the internet both captured and freed us? And will Truls even dare to show this film?
