Indigo is a dramatic short film about alienation on the inside. Two young, lost souls in New York City share a common struggle - they are stuck in lives they do not feel they belong to. She is an adored actress and he, a bike messenger. On the outside they seem like each other's opposite, but on the inside they are the same- dehumanized by an internal loneliness that alienates them from feeling alive. The claws of loneliness affect both characters the same, unconcerned with the typical borders of power and privilege. Synchronicity begins to mirror their lives, and they finally reach a breaking point. It is in this moment, they must choose to find that brave breath- a self power that brings them in touch with truth and the chance to change their trajectory. Both of them make a decision that will bring them back to their true selves and in turn, closer to each other. Indigo is about hope. For everyone. Indigo is written and directed by the Swedish director Paul Jerndal, who aims to inspire and encourage people to believe in themselves and start being who they truly are. Jerndal's idea was to merge different art forms together in a conceptual platform that involves music, acting, art, fashion, design and sound. The goal was to bring as many talented, creative people from various fields together, harnessing each artists' compassion and emotional investment in this subject to create a piece of art that they all believed in. This film aspires to empathize, inspire and give hope to everyone feeling alienated.

In 1897, a daring new expedition vanishes while trying to discover the North Pole by balloon. After 33 years of silence, their bodies were found on a desolate island in the Arctic. The cause of their sudden, ambiguous deaths has remained a mystery ever since. 100 years later, an obsessed young woman returns to White Island with a team of forensic scientists, determined to finally solve the mystery at any cost. As they dive deeper into Andree's macabre fate, the line between obsession and mania starts to dissolve and little by little, they begin to resemble the original expedition... Poetic and challenging, WHITE ISLAND intertwines forensic mystery with Andree's strange, Jules Vernean adventure story in a visual psychological thriller about the nature of obsession - and the price we pay to fulfill our dreams. Director Karin af Klintberg was awarded a Guldbagge (Swedish Oscar) and Stora Journalistpriset (Swedish Pulitzer) for her last documentary "Ebbe the Movie". She is also the creative force behind a long row of hit shows for SVT (Swedish Public Service TV), including "Världens Modernaste Land", "Landet Brunsås" and "Historieätarna".
