Filmform (est. 1950) is dedicated to preservation, promotion and worldwide distribution of experimental film and video art. Constantly expanding, the distribution catalogue spans from 1924 to the present, including works by Sweden’s most prominent artists and filmmakers, available to rent for public screenings and exhibitions as well as for educational purposes.
At the end of the 1960’s the artist group Aktion Samtal started to arrange urban political actions through childrens perspectives. The revolution must spring from the sand box according to a Danish social model. The group decided to go out and intervene on schoolyards and set up theater shows for children. In the film, three women that were part of the group look back on the movement, on its achievements and purpose to strengthen children’s creative expression and cooperation and by doing so creating ground for the next generation’s managing of our society.
Born in 1967 in Malmö, Sweden. Lives and works in Stockholm.
