Moominland

Both films presented in this section, although departing from very different countercultural positions, do not contradict each other, but rather complement a vision of Sweden as a country with a consistently progressive approach to sexuality, at least in art. Joanna Rytel, whose films have been repeatedly awarded around the world, offers strategies focused on femininity and motherhood, and explores the terrains of age, women’s place in contemporary society and loneliness, all filtered through the prism of desire. In her films, she often uses handmade objects and sculptures. Lasse Langstrom, while using similar, fairy tale stage design poetics, represents the next generation – a generation embedded in queer culture. The full-length Who will fuck daddy is anarchist in spirit, not devoid of elements of social satire and focused on the issues of social oppression, as well as revolutionary, androgynous pleasure. This film is a bathed in pink and purple, exciting queer fairy tale for naughty children, who certainly won’t grow any meeker after seeing it!
