Illum Jacobi comes from a background in mountaineering and long expeditions into the Arctic and Amazon. He worked as a high altitude cameraman before launching his own expeditions to remote mountain ranges concluding in a 2.500 km long traverse of the North Coast of Greenland. Later he studied Cinematography at the Danish Film School and began to make films with scientists and artists studying our relationship to nature. His work has been showed in museums like MoMa San Fransisco, Palais de Tokyo and The National Gallery of Denmark. Moving into fiction Jacobi is continuing his work with a series of feature projects translating his own experiences in the wilderness to narratives. His first film, the 18th century roadmovie "The Trouble With Nature" follows philosopher Edmund Burke on a grand tour of the Alps in a tragic comedian search of the sublime.
