Director: Ewa Wilhelmsson

THE GIRL WHO BELIEVED IN DREAMS by Ewa Harringer, is about a woman, her marriage, an incurable disease and a strong womans struggle for the right to a dignified life. Ewa Harringer herself has lived with MS for thirty years.
She is young, newlywed and six months ago she had her first baby. She is about to fulfill her dreams at dance school, she wants to be on the stage, she wants to dance! Suddenly one day she loses sensation in her legs and is diagnosed with MS. Her world falls apart. Will she never again be able to dance?
THE GIRL WHO BELIEVED IN DREAMS concerns everyone, young and old, sick and healthy. The same type of issues concern all illnesses no matter if it's, for example, cancer, MS or ALS. How do I relate as a family member, without going under myself? How do I relate as a sick person without becoming a demanding victim?

Rise of Nationalism
Directors: Renzo Aneröd & Bo Harringer
|
In recent years the interest in "Swedish culture" has increased among young people of Swedish descent. A great deal of the patriotism that these youths find is racist and Nazi. White supremacy music and Nazi-organizations are easily found on the Internet for example.
But a part of the patriotic movement claims to be non-politic and non-racist. Here you find traditional Nordic folk music, national romantic music and the so-called Viking rock.
Where will the rise of nationalism in the younger generation lead?
A production supported by the Swedish Inheritance Fund, Living history/Gothenburg, ABF and Sensus.
