World's Short Movie Selection presents Mia Engberg - Retrospective
Mia Engberg radi kao redateljica dokumentarnih filmova od sredine 90-ih. Njezini filmovi
obično nastaju sa margina društva, među gay skinheadsima, veganima, ljudima koji ruše
rodne stereotipe ili među djecom s ulice. Snimila je nekoliko kratkih erotskih filmova i osnovala
nezavisnu produkcijsku kuću Sexy Film koja producira i distribuira alternativnu pornografiju. Mia
svira bas gitaru u hardcore feminističkom ska bandu Vagina Grande.

The films / filmovi
Parkside Girls
New York / 1996 / 23’
Tri žene došle su u New York u potrazi za srećom i sve su završile u Parkside Residence-u,
prihvatilištu za žene koje drži Vojska spasa. Čak i ako ne postanem slavna ili barem polu-slavna,
nadam se da sa 65 godina neću više živjeti u ovoj sobi.
Three women came to New York to seek happiness and they all ended up at Parkside Residence,
the Salvation Army’s residence for women. Even if I don’t become famous or even semi-famous I
just hope that at the age of 65 I’m not living in this room.
Meat is Murder
Vänersborg / 1997 / 28’
Film o Anni, aktivistici za prava životinja. Možda sam naivna,
ali želim vjerovati da se svijet može promijeniti.
A film about Anna who is an Animal Rights activist. I might be naive,
but I want to believe that the world can be changed.

Kalle je gay, skinhead i HIV-pozitivan. Družimo se s Kalleom i njegovim prijateljima, Henrikom i
Ibrahimom tijekom Božićnih praznika. Oni se drogiraju, diskutiraju o životu i svojoj mržnji prema
ljudima općenito. Također pričaju o smrti, za kojom ponekad čeznu.
To je Kalleov posljednji Božić na životu.
Film je nominiran za nagradu Swedish Golden Bug 1997. Osvojio je prvu nagradu na filmskom
