IN THE SAME BOAT

A film about the limits of the ageing body and the boundless mind. Rauno’s story takes us on a boat trip with his father. A journey of misadventures and his father’s new Finnish record in cursing.

IMAGES OF YOU

With her grandmother’s photos from Greenland, Louise tries to understand her colonial heritage. In the 1960s, her grandparents travelled from Denmark to Greenland to work as school teachers, at a time when the Danish state wanted Inuit children to reject their culture and learn Danish instead. Is it possible to see our history with new eyes?

DISUSED

A young woman suffers a sudden loss. Isolated from the outside world in a barren desert landscape, she processes her experience to understand and accept her feelings.

SAINE “ÉTUDE”

A collage of found footage has been woven together into an abstract cyclical narrative that explores similarities in the movement of molecules, dandelion seeds, dancers in white robes, pulsing in the ear, dust and scratches on a film surface, etc.

Sweden 2022 / 5:05 / Director/Producer: Rickard Eklund

STRINGS

A game with explosives backfires and we are thrown back in time into a crucial year in a group of young people’s lives. A tender yet humorous everyday poetic depiction of young people on a collision course with an alienated adult world.

Sweden 2023 / 40:00 / Director: Cecilia Torquato de Oliveira Producer: Johannes Nyholm, Josef Kullengård
