Actor Sandra Guldberg Kampp opens up about her lead role as Ida in Jeanette Nordahl’s chilling directorial debut, Wildland
, director Jeanette Nordahl’s feature debut, we hear Sandra Guldberg Kampp before we see her. “People I don’t even know ask me all sorts of questions,” she announces, the camera focused on an upturned car. “About my aunt. And my mum. They say we have plenty of time. That we’ll figure out what went wrong together. But for some people things go wrong before they even begin.
As Ida, the newcomer is a recently orphaned 17 year-old sent to live with her estranged aunt, her mother’s sister, following a fatal car accident . Her new family – the matriarch aunt played by Sidse Babett Knudsen and her three adult sons – are criminals working as loan sharks.
Nordahl and screenwriter Ingeborg Topsøe never clarify whether Ida’s moral compass truly aligns with the family or their familiarity is a result of her grief, but Guldberg Kampp’s performance encapsulates both realities. “We all experience a feeling of being left out of something or not fitting in and I feel like, if you look at yourself in those situations you can kind of change personality to fit in with specific groups,” she suggests, likening it to how middle school students interact.
Guldberg Kampp was the very first actress Nordahl met for the role – they both turned up early to the casting – and confirmed the part shortly after. “I remember, they made me look into the camera and do all these different feelings. They would be like ‘ok now you’re sad, and now you’re happy’,” she says, alluding to Ida’s restrained demeanour forcing the focus on her wordless expressions.
Shot in 2018 in Bogense, northwest of Danish island Funen , the cast lived together for six weeks while filming, a time the actress recalls as amazing. “That was my education in some ways, because these people are very talented and very kind,” she enthuses. “We were around each other a lot, and because my character was so observant it was quite easy for me just to look around at what everyone else was doing; it helped tremendously.
