The Swedish Public Health Agency estimates that the increasing spread of infection will reach its peak in October.
This means that large, expensive Swedish productions in some cases have already taken the safe before the unsafe.
"Day by day" by Felix Herngren and "I am Zlatan" by Jens Sjögren, which would both have gone up in September, have been postponed in anticipation of better times, ie a larger capacity inside the salons.
The new version of the youth drama "Vinterviken" and the humorous "Suedi", about Mahmod who wants to be seen as Swedish and changes his name, gets Volvo, blue lenses and Swedish wife will be shown on streaming services, Netflix and Viaplay respectively.
"Nothing better than a full cinema"
Hannes Holm's "The Tale of Karl-Bertil Jonsson's Christmas Eve", on the other hand, is made for cinema.
- I invest the iron in continuing to make movies, I will probably do that until I fall.
It's like making TV otherwise.
There is nothing better than a full cinema, says Hannes Holm.
He describes his version of Tage Danielsson's classic history as "a look at the real Karl-Bertil", where this thing about taking from the rich and giving to the poor becomes a bit problematic.
- People generally do not like to get rid of their money, regardless of whether they are right or left.
It has been fun to take Tage's text and redo it.
We do not flirt with Per Åhlin's film, this will be something else, he says.
This year's Christmas Day premiere is "Until the Sun Rises" directed by Peter Dalle.
A romantic and a bit twisted dreamy drama with, among others, Mikael Persbrandt and Vanna Rosenberg.
The film would have premiered a long time ago, but now the coveted Christmas Day date is fixed.
Probably.
Because do you dare to cut something in stone during a whimsical pandemic?
- Now we're driving on.
If we can not have a cinema premiere this Christmas, we are really bad out there, says producer Patrik Ryborn.
More documentaries to wait
A large number of documentaries will also be on the repertoire this autumn.
"Lena" is about Lena Nyman (1944–2011) and is largely based on the actor's own diaries.
- It is such an incredible fate, the whole palette with heart and pain.
I really stuck to her personality, she was so smart and funny, said director Isabel Andersson at the presentation.
Another fascinating profile from the film world, portrayed by Kristina Lindström and Kristian Petri, is Björn Andrésen, who starred in Luchino Visconti's "Death in Venice" 50 years ago.
He was named "the world's most beautiful boy", a shadow that continued to hang over the young actor.
The film "The World's Most Beautiful Boy" depicts his life story.
One film that will stir emotions this fall is the documentary "The Seventeen", which is about the harsh abortion laws in El Salvador.
