OCTOPUS

About the changes in the Swimmingpool 'Octopus' and people's fear of loosing the so-called 'feeling of Octopus'.

 

INFO

The film Octopus (2013 | 30') documents the period in 2010 that the swimmingpool is taken over by a larger organization SRO. People fear the loss of the so-called 'Octopus feeling'. But what is this 'Octopus feeling'?  In search of the Octopus, we get to meet many poeple from the swimmingpool. Paintings and animation are used to the documentary in order to show the other world of the Octopus.
