Marlene Emilie Lyngstad

Marlene Emilie Lyngstad (born 1997) is a Norwegian director and scriptwriter living in Denmark. She graduated as a director from the National Film School of Denmark with the film Norwegian Offspring, which has won awards at Cannes Film Festival and Nordic Panorama. In her work she tries to evoke a conflicting mixture of empathy, disgust, humor and melancholy. She lost her virginity in a loft in central in the centre of Oslo on 22 July, and woke up the next morning to the sight the eyes of her pet turtle 'Shelley' and learning that that 69 of her comrades had been killed on an island overnight. For a while, she thought this was a direct consequence of her (too? consequence of her (too?) early start and that the tortoise had seen through her. Later, she acknowledged she's an insignificant part of a larger incomprehensible plot, and is trying to deal with it by laughing and crying with seamless transitions.
