Swedish Candy, Some Violence and a Bit of Cat

Directed by Ester Martin Bergsmark2018Sweden45 mins

Recipient of Frameline38’s First Feature Award for Something Must Break, Ester Martin Bergsmark returns with a surreal, comical, and transgressive triptych of tales surrounding consumption, gluttony, and gender. Bergsmark’s three interwoven strands include a glossy corporate infomercial celebrating the unsettling production of gelatin, and two parallel stories of girls exploring the thin boundaries between the grotesque and delectable, love and hate, attraction and repulsion. Performance artists Eva Johansson and Louise Löwenberg portray eerily close cousins who find their rehearsal of a notorious Tarzan & Jane routine, special requested by one of their fathers for his birthday, going awry thanks to a vodka-filled watermelon.

'Swedish Candy, Some Violence and a Bit of Cat' is screening in:
