The Norwegian singer and songwriter Aurora Aksnes was discovered at the age of 16, when a video of her singing one of her own songs went viral. Her life changed completely: she went from being a somewhat eccentric and reclusive girl who grew up in a small town in the Norwegian countryside to Aurora, the pop idol, with fans all over the world. Once Aurora follows her over a period of two years as she tours the world with her debut album and works with her producers on a follow-up. In 2016, after 200 concerts and halfway through the tour, she seems exhausted and desperate. Conflicts creep in and the endless meet-and-greets with the fans are an ordeal for her. The intimate camerawork and the dynamic and fragmented editing style reflect her hectic life and inner struggle. The film becomes not only a portrait of a lightning bolt musical career and an overwhelming passion for music, but also a story about creative freedom and the price of fame.
Benjamin Langeland received his education at the Kristiania University College in Bergen, and worked at the production company Flimmer Film. Over the last couple of years, Benjamin has directed, shot and edited a number of commercials and music videos. He was also the cinematographer and editor on the multi award winning series Children Deported (2015). Once Aurora (2019) is his first feature documentary.
