Half&half

Wholes and halves. Greenlandic, Danish, or both? Filmmaker Aka Hansen poses simple yet pointed questions around her mixed heritage. She challenges the stereotypical perception of identity by those around her. Tangled emotions and neat, symmetric imagery are in contrast to describe her state of being.
