about

ODE is the genre-breaking and deeply personal short film by Danish artist Kim Richard Adler Mejdahl. In 2020 The National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) acquired the movie for its collection.

This experimental hybrid movie stars the artist himself along with the rest of his family as they make a musical about the killing of their abusive father. ODE is about a family struggling to recall their shared memories of a horrifying past as they discover a way to liberate themselves from the chains of trauma.

The original soundtrack contains all the dark and experimental elegies from the movie written and composed by Kim Kim.
