Despite the fact that many recordings were interrupted in the spring, the film autumn 2020 does not look thinner than other years.
Some of the films that will premiere between September and December should actually have been shown already this spring, but had to be postponed - among others Henrik Schyffert's feature film directorial debut Spring Uje spring om og med musikeren Uje Brandelius.
One of the autumn films is Josephine Bornebusch's ORCA, produced at rocket speed at a distance during the spring's most intense pandemic months.
The film is about isolation, but not specifically about the pandemic.
- We would do another production that I had planned for two years and then it was shot.
The same afternoon I came up with this idea, then I wrote it in three weeks, says Josephine Bornebusch.
The team consisted of five people to be able to record remotely.
Theme escape
A recurring theme during the fall is escape.
Magnus Gertten, best known for "celebrity documentaries" about, for example, Zlatan and Björn Afzelius has made a documentary about a Uzbek woman in Sweden whose brother was imprisoned in Uzbekistan, accused of terrorism.
Idomeni by David Aronowitsch follows two or two Yazidi families in a refugee camp and the feature film Ghabe by Markus Castro is about what happens when you have recently left a refugee camp and are about to make your home in Sweden.
Documentary about Greta
Also musician documentaries where the Swedish rapper Yung Lean and the famous, but unknown Tiny Tim are on the schedule.
Greta Thunberg is the subject of the documentary Greta where director Nathan Grossman followed the climate activist from the demonstrations for a year.
- Nathan Grossman has followed Greta from the first day since she went on strike and followed her until the famous speech when she says "how dare you", says Eva Esseen at Triart about the film.
