Filmtalk on NPR and my household chores
What would I do without the movie programs from NPR? I guess live without them but my household chores would be more boring and my house more messy. When I can listen to Terry Gross talk to Colin Firth while cleaning the toilet or Larry Mantle discuss film with film critics in LA while sorting the […]
The Story of Film: An Odyssey by Mark Cousins
Writer, filmmaker and passionate cinephile has made a 15-hour documentary inspired by his bestseller, ‘The Story of Film’. It is shown on Teema on Finnish TV this fall. It throws you into the history of film and I have learned things which have changed the way I watch film. He takes us through the history of innovation in […]
Angered en världsby – Världsby i Angered

A baby’s view of the city
I made a film to try to understand and explain how a baby in a stroller experiences the city.
Monkey Business (1952)
Yesterday we watched the movie Monkey Business by Howard Hawk. It was great! It was funny too. I have found that when a 1940-1950s film is shown on TV I often relate to it as something different than when a more modern film is shown. I find that if I take the time to get into the […]
Waste land – a film about art from garbage
Waste land is absolutly not a waste of time. I recommend it to everybody. It is amazing and unusual that people today think the way Brazilian artis Vik Muniz does: Keep the door open for others when you have succeeded youself (Yes I did steal it from Michelle Obama).
