Film-maker Doug Aubrey has spent his entire adult life with a camera in his hand. Dating back to the 70s punk era, early video works see him as a tireless art student, insisting on being rifle shot at whilst running away from the shooter into a tunnel - with no turns and only 6 seconds to run. An action repeated over and over, making every escape run shorter due to staminal loss of speed. Later, his professional life has him observing the world and getting into trouble as a documentarist in conflict zones, before and after disaster strikes. Diagnosed with thyroid cancer after a winter surf trip, he turns his camera’s gaze inward and sets about making short films that capture the moment and reflect on the film-making and survival process.

Making use of an existential surf analogy of the wipe out, hold down and surfacing to tell its story, LEGACY OF AN INVISIBLE BULLET unfolds as a stream of short films exploring a real as well as an "inland geography" that is populated by fear, hopes, traumas, dreams and a creative imagination that’s potentially facing the end of life.

Based on 170 short films, LEGACY OF AN INVISIBLE BULLET is an existential surf movie of sorts, exploring male identity and body politics in the age of the selfie. Aided by Charlotte Munck as the film-maker’s avatar and subconscious voice, it is a search for hidden truths amid conspiracy theories and the human and toxic legacies of war in the viral age.

The story is monumental. Scored by avantgarde jazz legend TS Høeg/ Dane TS Hawk and illustrated by Bandé Desinee winner Halfdan Pisket, the film has been over ten years in the making, also embracing an archive of a lifetime of film-making. LEGACY OF AN INVISIBLE BULLET – the Copenhagen mix is a 117 minutes feature-film length film, a serialised linear cinematic slow show experience and a unique graphical novel styled interactive app.
