Only within the three last years Swedish shorts picked up awards in Berlin, Cannes, Venice and Sundance. This programme – including topics like a chinese execution, sex debuts, two isolated neighbours starting to spend time together, the close study of an elderly woman's eye, a detailed depiction of a failed bank robbery, a middle-aged lady (played by a 1.5 year) on a charter trip and the story of an ex-girlfriend hitting back – strives to represent the richness and variety of the Swedish short film scene of today. Enjoy! GRANDMOTHER'S EYE (Mormors öga), by Jonathan Lewald (2010) HD CAM, b/w, silent, 5' A constant motion from distance to up close, all the way into the eye of an elderly lady. 2.
