The Weight of Elephants

Film (Trailer and Excerpts) – 2013

M
Mature

Filmed in New Zealand’s deep south, this feature follows Adrian, a sensitive 11-year old haunted by the disappearance of three local children, who befriends mysterious new-in-town Nicole. The adaptation of Sonya Hartnett’s coming of age novel Of A Boy, is the feature debut of Denmark-based Dunedin-born director Daniel Joseph Borgman, following on from his lauded short films Berik, and Lars and Peter. The creative team behind the 'informal' Danish-NZ co-production included a number of frequent collaborators of Danish directors Lars Von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg.

I’m interested in the loss of innocence, and how the small things in life, the little problems can grow to become overwhelming.
– Director Daniel Joseph Borgman
