It was when Amanda Lind was interviewed by Expressen in connection with the Goldbag gala last week that it emerged that she had not seen any of the films selected for the competition.

The statement was sharply criticized, among other things, by DN's Helena Lindblad, who described Lind's actions as "so easy to bark" and said that the Minister of Culture's choice not to see the nominated films "must be seen as a real blow to a sector that is already down". .

Amanda Lind thinks that the discussion about her film interest has gone beyond control.

- I take part in a lot of Swedish film and I like Swedish film. I think it is sad that this has become a bat in the debate, she says to "Culture News".
