(2013)
Drama 1 h 20 m
On the last weekend of summer a group of friends have gathered to celebrate Carl’s birthday in his family’s summer house on the west coast of Sweden. Carl’s beautiful cousin Stina has just moved back from London to resettle in Sweden, and brings devoted British boyfriend Nick along for the festivities. Their relationship is fraying, and is exacerbated over the weekend by Nick’s inability to fit in or grasp the language and rituals of the group. Stina finds herself annoyed by Nick’s cloying vulnerability, and fascinated by her cocky, charismatic cousin. When Stina’s flirtations with Carl provoke Nick, the boozy party escalates into a blur of taboo-laden conflict and an explosive investigation of love and commitment.
Starring Sara Blomqvist, Kalle Josephson, Ania Chorabik, Nanna Blondell, Carl Dackö, Julia Frändfors, Tom Lloyd, Aliette Opheim och Aron Heineman. Directed by Johan von Reybekiel and Marcus Werner Hed.
Still from One Table Two Elephants
One Table Two Elephants
Documentary
One Table Two Elephants is a ciné-ethnographic film about bushmen bboys, a flower kingdom and the ghost of a princess. Entering the city through its plants and wetlands, the many-layered, painful and liberating history of the city emerges as we meet how biologists, hip hoppers, and wetland activists each searches for ways to craft symbols of unity and cohesion. But this is a fraught and difficult task. Perhaps not even desirable. Plants, aliens, memories and ghosts keep troubling efforts of weaving stories about this place called Cape Town. As part of a wider film and research project on ontological politics and urban political ecology, it was filmed in 2015 with a full length film ready in 2018.
