Three men go on an extended weekend hunting trip. An initial spell of hunting success sharpens their instincts and stirs a sense of rivalry. But one day all animals vanish without a trace and the forest turns eerily quiet. The men become obsessed with the idea that the hunt must continue, no matter how dangerous or absurd the consequences.
Sarah Gyllenstierna’s short film Class Trip premiered in the international competition of the Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival and aired on Canal Plus France and Afrique. Gyllenstierna’s previous film I’m Your Man aired on Swedish national broadcaster SVT and was selected for over a dozen film festivals. Gyllenstierna has worked as assistant director and producer on films by directors and artists including Spike Lee and Matthew Barney. Hunters on a White Field is Gyllenstierna’s feature film debut.
