Фильмы

I skuggan
Director
Two quotes from Paul Valéry: "Humanity is threatened by two dangers: order and disorder." and "Nothing is more contrary to your nature than to see things as they are." A quote from the Swedish writer Thorild : "To think freely is great ! To think correctly is greater."Sentences which ring like thoughts. A bookseller, a flea market, drunken students and avant-garde musicians... The film was shot in the university town of Uppsala. "Wanting to do something "new" at any cost can lead to quite a bit of nonsense."

Bläckfiskens bok
Director
"Bläckfiskens bok" is made up of three short films ("Första resan", "Drömresan" and "Sista resan"). While making these movies, Nilsson tried to put himself in an artificial depression in order to see the world as an angry and sad man. "My mind functions like a spider's web: all the images, all the ideas, all the sentences, all the idiocies stick. Thus am I a prisoner."

Det var en gång
Director
How and why do certain images, certain objects or certain "works of art" become documents, more than traces. The film was shot in the Verdon during the destruction of villages and the filling of a lake.
Åtgärdas
Director
According to Eric M Nilsson, this is an utterly unsuccesful film. It's a film about things he saw but never understood. If two people gaze upon the same thing, one of them will claim to experience something else. In this, they receive evidence that they exist, because the individual understands comparisons — but hates similarities.
