Outdoors screenings at the Swedish Institute


Two nights in a row, we visited the garden belonging to the Swedish Institute in Paris.
We watched Låt den rätte komma in (Tomas Alfredsson) and Les Grandes Personnes (Anna Novion)
For the first time, we saw our names in the credit rolls of the French-Swedish co-production ('Les Grandes Personnes').

While waiting for the first screening, we read the information brochure.

In this 4-page-document about cinema edited by the Swedish Institute, names like Björn Runge – one of our favourite Swedish living directors -, Kristian Petri, Ruben Östlund or Johannes Stjärne-Nilsson & Ola Simonsson were absent.

It felt somewhat strange, to say the least. Especially when people like Simon Staho or Niels Arden Oplev (2 Danes) were included in this same document...
