Swedish short films 1

“Did you feel it? Are they the burnt ones?” The father coughs when he has to give his son "fresh air" and the mother wonders. Rock-hard, well-acted drama with Greek vibes where Arvin Kananian and Emelie Garbers play parents who are estranged when their son's legs don't support.

Like the view of the goldfish through the glass of the aquarium, we take in the daily life of the neighbors from the window. In each apartment, a movie takes place where the plot has no end. The woman on the fourth floor who smokes and plays bridge, and the couple on the third who dance in odd costumes.

Yazim has an existential crisis at work. He shares his destructive thoughts with a colleague and friend. Which creates concern and question marks about what his script is really about. With a hand-held camera and an intense closeness, the story is portrayed.

Core, matter of fact, and heartbreaking about the inhuman and invisible. It happens all the time, no you haven't done anything wrong, are you really going to make a scene in the store? Write a letter instead. Low-key about the terrible.

When the father goes to the daughter's basketball game in another city, it is noticeable that the expectations for the weekend differ. In some parts of life, you may need each other differently, so how do you compromise a relationship when you are not on the same page?

At the Gröngården dementia home, the different stories are many. Someone has been stuck in a certain event in life, while other destinies have been completely forgotten. Regardless of character, they are all portrayed in a wonderful mixed technique accompanied by the municipal troubadour.

A daughter turns 35 and a mother, who has not always been there, decides to surprise. At the party that follows, it becomes clear that life happened while the mother was away. A quiet depiction of something big with names like Pernilla August and Rolf Lassgård.

That Nils Berg Cinemascope – the jazz band that sets YouTube clips to music – is getting involved in filmmaking is welcome. Wonderfully filmed and set to music wedding preparation in San Paolo Albanese, an Albanian enclave that has existed since the 16th century in southern Italy.
