Directing
Kim Erland Alexander Ekberg is a Swedish filmmaker, photographer and screenwriter. He is educated at Academy Valand, Gothenburg.
A dive down to the collective subconscious, where the man's stinking corpse is broken down into nourishing soil from which we are born again and rise to the surface with a new feminine thinking and feeling and unimaginable perversions. An artful film with a sweet side, but also violent sex scenes and a perverse taste.
Kim has long wanted to make a film about his brother and his brother’s girlfriend – the former “Ex on the Beach” particpants Hampus and Olivia. But in the middle of recording they break up, the film is forced in completely different directions, and it instead turns into a poetic meta-narrative in which Kim’s dreamlike cinematic language tells the story of love and separtion.
A vacation house in a rural Swedish forest setting is observed by mysterious forces transforming into modern ghosts in city life. Shifting into forms of what we cannot yet deal with. Kaleidoscopic visuals following a constant shift between micro and macro perspective inform the form and narrative in this experimental hybrid art movie exploring film from a post-humanist perspective.
Siblings Enzo and Magda have drifted apart, and in an attempt to reconnect, Magda invites her brother on a trip to Helsinki. Over a weekend, the sibling duo encounters a series of eccentric characters and confronts situations that necessitate conversations about life, art and existence. Memories blend with the present, and dreams and reality merge for the two travelers adrift in the atmospheric city of Helsinki.
Elma, a young writer, gets dumped by her girlfriend. Along her path to recovery, she sets out on a spiritual, physical, and meta-physical odyssey throughout the Swedish countryside. She encounters a number of equally wandering souls, longing for some company on the roads, while the past, present and future of Sweden slowly unravels. —Sao Paulo Film Festival Catalogue
