TEMPORARY SHELTER / in progress
Can you feel at home when you are forced to leave your motherland to live an house in Ásbrú in the middle of nowhere in Iceland. The former military base has become their new temporary home and temporary protection has been given to them by the Icelandic state.They wonder is there even anything permanent in this place?
Ásbrú is a kind of transit point between the past and the future, a kind of portal. The people here either already lost everything or are at risk of losing everything. War, hunger, poverty, and political per -secution are some of the issues that most often lead people here. They try to find stability in a country where the ground can slip under your feet. Strangers finding each other and new meanings . And the director becomes our guide on this mysterious journey .

MY FAIRY TREE
A unique and multifaceted story about time and belonging. Of bridges between the most different cultures, portrayed here through the main character MIKE ÅRSJÖ, who grows up in a small village deep in the rainforest in PAPUA NEW GUINEA with his Swedish family. The film is important in these times of strong polarization, when we need to show our similarities and our longing for togetherness.
CAN YOU SEE ME
This is a documentary about the meaning of family, and what makes us who we are. An emotional journey of finding one’s roots, but at what cost? A journey that will become an inner quest, as well a physical voyage.
