Welcome to the film blog!

Hello and welcome to Sweden.se first ever film blog (I think). My name is Chris and I’ll be your waiter for the week. So, finally it’s here. The day a lot of thriving filmmakers around the world have been waiting for. It’s time to kick off Uppsala’s short film festival.

Sitting on the train towards the festival, I suddenly realize that I haven’t been in Uppsala for a long, long time so it’s a double treat for me. Film and scenery.  I’ve decided to dedicate as much free time as I can these 7 days to film so unless I am sleeping, I’m watching movies. It’s the least I can do for the filmmakers. However, since I am giving them all this time I will be honest and direct when it comes to what I think of them. There will be no apologizes and no sugar coating (I forgot my sugar in Stockholm).

I will try to watch all different genres of film this week but already now I am really excited about animation. That could have to do with the fact that I recently saw the movie Up and the short film before it, Partly Cloudy, and they were both brilliant.  Stay tuned for your next festival fix.
