Remarkabel
“Remarkabel” is my first feature film. Written and directed together with my father, we filmed during 2020. In 2021 the film premiered at film festivals and won prizes in Berlin and London. It premiered on Swedish cinema at Bio Roxy, Örebro in February 2022.
The film is a discussion of the social contract of the Western World. A woman tires of conforming to rule and norm. She is at the top of the social hierarchy but makes a sudden decision to leave it all behind and does so in a dramatic exit. Over the course of the film, she then tries to find other social contexts where she might fit in but the people she meet treat her with distrust, disdain and violence. After being assaulted, buried alive, and thrown out of a church, she is close to losing all hope in her struggle. She seeks a place of contemplation and decides to walk her own path in a way that will let other women continue the fight after her.
“most daring, and provocative motion picture of the year.”
– Adrian Perez, Lonely Wolf Film Festival, London
JORD.
En audiovisuell föreställning där ett kargt landskap är satt i en ordlös spelfilm där det ackompanjeras av improviserande musiker. I föreställningen rör sig gruppen mellan dynamiska extremer som stilla kall vind, ogenomtränglig sjudande skog och ett vrålande samvete.
Film och musik vävs samman till en intensiv och fängslande föreställning insvept i ett tryckande mörker.

The Deepapple Forest
In the summer of 2010 David Storm came up with the idea of combining art film with live free form improvisation. This film; "The Deepapple Forest", was shot and produced by David during the fall of the same year. On November 19, 2010 the film was publicly screened at Bio Roxy, a movie theater in Örebro devoted to independent film. As part of the performance, me and David played free form improvised music during the screening of the film. A kind of live soundtrack, so to speak, much like the way film music was performed live by musicians in movie theaters at the turn of the 20th century. Only this time all of the music was completely improvised, with nothing prepared beforehand. Come show time, we simply started playing - reacting to what took place on the big screen and trying to create music and sounds that would deepen the overall experience. The music heard here is the actual audio recording from that unique live performance.
