Arrival at Stockholm from Skavsta


We came to Stockholm with bus from Skavsta airport at 2:25 pm and we went directly to the Stockholm Film Festival's office, in order to get our free passports.



There we met Sebastian Lindvall, a former fellow-student at the Department of Cinema Studies at Stockholm University. He has been working with the film festival not only this year but the previous two years also, if I remember correctly.
When we arrived Aurore's passport hadn't arrived from the 'printing' yet but it should arrive the day after, according to Sebastian.
As we had calculated looking at a film the very same evening I asked Sebastian if this could constitute a problem but it wouldn't he assured us. "You refer to me..." and SESAM!

We didn't stay long as Sebastian had a lot of work to do and we had to hurry to our friend Mahla's apartment where we were going to stay during our visit, as she had to leave for her studies a certain time.
Our friend is a former nurse with whom I worked at a couple of hospitals when working as an assistant nurse in Stockholm some years ago.
Now she has started medicinal/health studies in order to become a doctor.
When moving from Sweden to France we sold a great deal of our furniture and other possessions in the apartment and some of it were sold to Mahla, wherefore I found an office chair, a lamp, a clock, a bureau and many other items earlier belonging to me or us now being a part of her apartment! We felt at home.

Next stop was the film 'Fyra år till' ('Four More Years').
Read more about it in the next blog.
Meanwhile you can take a look at the first small short film Sebastian Lindvall directed when studying at 'Kulturamas film linje' 2006. It's called 'Ling':
