Please note that all regular film screenings at Fyrisbiografen (except for some children's films) are in their original language and subtitled in Swedish. When possible, we screen films from our repertoire with English subtitles for our international audience. Unfortunately, this is not possible with all of our films. The film selection may vary depending on the number of films offered with English subtitles.

Work in progress: voice under

A warm welcome to the third and final film night of the spring term with the Queer Seminar, which will be a work-in-progress screening!
We are pleased to welcome director and artist Ester M Bergsmark, who will screen and present her film En ljuvlighet från ingenstans. The film is an extension of Bergsmark’s artistic research project voice under at the Stockholm University of the Arts, where Bergsmark earned a PhD in the autumn of 2023. En ljuvlighet från ingenstans is currently being re-edited into a feature film, which is expected to premiere in cinemas later this year.
The screening will be followed by a discussion between Ester M Bergsmark and Fanny Wendt Höjer, PhD student in Gender Studies at Uppsala University. The discussion will be held in English.

En ljuvlighet från ingenstans is a film that explores the journey out of a frozen, isolated state toward connection and diversity. A scream triggers memories of an assault and throws us back in time.

The film portrays how imagination can both numb and imprison us. As the narrative moves from the isolation of a small apartment, new connections begin to emerge from the darkness—tentative movements back to a pulsing body, to the dance floor, and to encounters with different forms of life and survival. Invisible forces, non-human beings, and other sisters are woven together in the ever-expanding web of life. Amidst violence and trauma, we find pleasure—the pleasure of being together, of being a body.

Where darkness becomes nourishment, where fear, sorrow, and pain are transformed into a source of connection. Through insights into various animals’ survival strategies—which we humans also share—the relationship with the world, with other bodies and life forms, expands.

In Swedish with English subtitles. Discussion in English.
