SHITTY WEATHER

It has been raining for forty days. In the house, yet another kitchen renovation is underway, with concerns about colour choices, throw pillows and click flooring. The appliance delivery is delayed and dreams of a trip to Greece take hold. All the while reality gushes into the basement.

Sweden 2023 / 9:00 / Director: Jessica Laurén Producer: Sara Sjöö

CORRIDORS

In one of the posh offices of Sweden, a newcomer confidently steps into what appears to be an ordinary job interview. Yet, as reality blurs with imagination, he grapples with a profound sense of displacement. What unfolds on the other side is a transformation he had not sought, but one that proves invaluable.

Sweden 2023 / 14:30 / Director: Basem Nabhan Producer: Basel Mawlawi

AFTER MOURNERS

A film about the family left behind after the death of a small child. In this poetic short film blending live-action with pencil and charcoal animation, the parents of the director tell us about their loss. Is this why the director herself is so afraid when her second child is born? Is grief hereditary?

Sweden 2023 / 24:40 / Director: Hanna Högstedt Producer: Lovisa Charlier

ASPAN

A romantic story that plays out in a group of young men during a summer.

Sweden 2022 / 15:14 / Director/Producer: Cornelia Wahlberg

THE BALLAD

A fed up food delivery worker chooses a split second act of rebellion – one that results in an awkward, spiralling dance between the classes of 21st century Sweden.

Sweden 2023 / 13:13 / Director: Christofer Nilsson Producer: Annegret Kunath

GLENN, THE GREAT NATURE LOVER

Glenn loves nature. He meets the love of his life while watching birds. They decide to spend their lives in the forest forever, but preferably on their own terms.
