Amateurs Paradise (2025)
Directed by Janus Bragi Jakobsson
Documentary
Amateurs Paradise is a heartfelt and humorous film, that dissects humanity’s impulse to document through four men across generations. Using personal archives and modern reflections, it explores the tension between memory and performance, asking whether we film to preserve truth or to rewrite it. From a father’s decades of home videos to an influencer’s curated digital life, the film examines how we connect, reflect, and shape identity through the act of recording. Blending the private and the public, Amateurs Paradise reveals what it means to hold on to life’s fleeting moments—and why it matters.
