About Us - nellyogjona.de

We are Nelly Haag and Jona Kleinlein. We are based in Lofoten, a small archipelago in the north of Norway.

Our artistic research lingers at the intersection of cultural environments and technologies. For example: Our hybrid documentary project 50 METERS FROM THE ROAD explores contemporary archaeology using machinima filmmaking. These observations take shape in both photorealistic and digitally manipulated images.

We are happy to announce that we have received funding from regional and national sources in Norway for our latest film project. As we build our network, we are also available for hire.

Jona studied Moving Images at the Film Art School in Kabelvåg. He also has a background in graphic design. He worked on several film productions in Northern Norway, then moved to Vienna to be part of the renowned Austrian art collective Total Refusal. In 2023 he moved back to Lofoten. His work has been shown at GoShorts in the Netherlands, Milan Machinima Festival in Italy and International Film Festival Rotterdam and Diagonale Vienna.

Nelly gained practical experience early on in theater education and as an assistant director. In 2023, she completed her master’s degree in theater studies, with a focus on theater history, object choreography, and performative everyday practices. Currently based in Lofoten, northern Norway, Nelly works with new media, including documentary film and video art, and writes. She is interested in the interplay of technology, nature, and history.
