История

Carl Fredrik (von) Gertten is a Swedish filmmaker and journalist. Gertten worked as a journalist for newspapers, radio and television in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe during the 1980s and 1990s. In 1995 he published the travel book Ung man söker världen (Young man looking for the World) through the publisher Gong Gong förlag. He wrote for the newspaper Arbetet from 1990 until it ceased publication in 2000 and for Kvällsposten in 2001-2003. He has also been the producer of documentaries and entertainment shows for the Swedish television channels SVT, TV 4 and TV 3. In 2009, Gertten's production company was sued for defamation by Dole Food Company after the US screening of Bananas!, a documentary film about a conflict between Dole and banana plantation workers in Nicaragua over alleged cases of sterility caused by the pesticide DBCP. The court ruled in favor of the production company, and the lawsuit became the subject of Gertten's 2011 documentary Big Boys Gone Bananas!.

Фильмы

PUSH
Executive Producer
Цены на жилье взлетают до небес в городах по всему миру. Но не доходы.  PUSH проливает свет на новый тип безликого домовладельца, на наши все более неприспособленные для жизни города и на ширящийся кризис, который отражается на всех нас. Это не джентрификация, это другой монстр. Фильм наблюдает за Лейлани Фархой, специальным докладчиком ООН по вопросам достаточного жилья, в ее поездках по земному шару, в которых она старается понять, кого вытесняют из города и почему. «Я считаю, что существует огромная разница между жильем как товаром и золотом как товаром. Золото не является правом человека, а жильё - да», - говорит Лейлани.

Златан. Начало
Director
Это нападающий шведского клуба «Мальме» Златан Ибрагимович, огромное самомнение которого равно его футбольному таланту, только талант этот еще надо раскрыть. Всего через пару лет игры в Швеции Ибрагимович в золотом пиджаке и розовой рубашке поедет за рекордную сумму в голландский «Аякс», где будут и драки, и дисквалификации, и конфликт с капитаном команды, но будут и голы — включая один, который обязательно надо увидеть, потому что пересказать его все равно не получится. Фильм Фредрика и Маркуса Герттенов показывает, откуда взялся самый харизматичный игрок современного футбола (если что, с этим определением согласятся и Месси, и Роналду) и подробнейшим образом освещает относительно малоизвестный период его карьеры.
Bikes vs Cars
Executive Producer
Bikes vs Cars depicts a global crisis that we all deep down know we need to talk about: Climate, earth's resources, cities where the entire surface is consumed by the car. An ever-growing, dirty, noisy traffic chaos. The bike is a great tool for change, but the powerful interests who gain from the private car invest billions each year on lobbying and advertising to protect their business. In the film we meet activists and thinkers who are fighting for better cities, who refuse to stop riding despite the increasing number killed in traffic.

Большие парни теряют Бананы!*
Writer
За документальный фильм «Бананы!*», посвященный конфликту рабочих банановой плантации в Никарагуа с крупнейшим мировым производителем фруктов и овощей Dole Food Company, компания Dole подала на режиссера Фредрика Герттена в суд, задействовав целый арсенал силовых приёмов, нападок прессы и PR-кампаний. Фильм «Большие парни теряют бананы!*» рассказывает о том, как это было. Картина Фредрика Герттена — это высказывание о свободе слова и о том, как порой сложно бывает ее отстаивать; история об одном человеке, который решился выступить против транснациональной корпорации с ее миллионами долларов и почти безграничным влиянием.
