TO US YOU ARE ALL THE NAMES

As a result of a stroke, Katinka suffers from memory loss. Her granddaughter Julia gathers memories from their time together. They eat goulash and watch TV. Julia writes a text about the family’s Jewish identity, and one day Katinka reads it. She holds it dear. Julia’s texts seem to reduce the distance that memory loss has created between them.

at the window

AT THE WINDOW

A girl looks out a window, over a snow-covered garden where everything lies eerily still. Behind her the mother lies sick in bed. Suddenly the mother’s dark dream starts to take form in the garden. A hybrid of animation and live action brings Helen Adam’s mysterious horror poem to life.

tölva

TÖLVA

One day Susan finds herself disconnected from the internet, and cannot reach TÖLVA, the artificial intelligence that serves as her digital butler and fortune teller. Lost and confused, she embarks on a journey to find out what happened. Borrowing from medieval imagery with its peculiar mixture of doom and joviality, the film explores the complexities of technology and its impact in our lives.

hypnosuggestion

HYPNOSUGGESTION

After the technological singularity dissolved man into time and space, a fragment of human memory lives on in a computer-like consciousness. A collaboration between a human and an AI, a hypnotic sci-fi thriller consisting only of still images generated by
an AI; an examination of our memory and subconsciousness.

Sweden 2023 / 8:00 / Director/Producer: Per Bifrost

can somebody tell me that everything will be fine

CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE

Are men attracted to women with saggy breasts? Have you ever killed anyone? On the internet we can be anonymous and completely open about our inner dilemmas, but what would happen if we were just as honest in the physical world? The authentic dialogue in this experimental comedy is borrowed from Norway’s largest chat forum.

king of valhalla

KING OF VALHALLA

The swimming pool Valhalla is a micro universe governed by unwritten rules, keeping the place afloat. But when the stubborn Lawyer comes in and arrogantly breaks rules that he believes are beneath his dignity, a conflict erupts between him and the Lifeguard. The fight escalates to absurd proportions which the other guests will not forget.
