Thanatophobia goes to Sweden

 

 

The programme consists of films from two film collectives – Crater Lab (Barcelona) and Baltic Analog Lab (Riga). 

All the films are made by the members of those collectives who engage with analog film in a very personal and DIY approach. Shooting, hand processing and editing those films by themselves - many times using very structural and tactile approach to create poetic, immersive, turbulent and fluctuating effect on the viewer. Two of the members of both laboratories will be presenting the programme in person. 

The programe will start with recently deceased Swedish filmmaker Olle Hedman (1940–2022) and his film CocaStrip (1985).
