The synopsis of the film is: A middle-aged lady on a holiday in the sun tries to make new friends and have a good time. :)

“Las Palmas wins the short film award of Gothenburg International Film Festival 2011, Startsladden, as well as the Audience Award. The Award is 800 000 SEK in cash and production value. Plus a bit of honour. The Jury statement reads: “Startsladden 2011 goes to a tragicomic movie in a crazy world that feels terribly familiar. An ingenious hybrid of Sällskapsresan and Easy Rider, which goes straight into our hearts”.

Yes! Yes! and Yes again! There is not a single sign of spring (vår) yet in Sweden (of course not because it is january and I don´t live on the Costa del Sol). Well, I try to make the best out of the dark and cold nights here on the west coast (västkusten) or as we modestly say on the best coast (bästkusten). Only a few days ago last friday was the kick off for the 33rd International Filmfestival here in Gothenburg. This is the biggest filmfestival in Scandinavia and it grows massively year after year. The theme is “Sharing” this year. What I usually expect from this festival that I want to get into different moods and want to be inspired by the films. Do you guys know the feeling after a good film, concert or play? Leaving the place in silence and slowly observing the world around you. Trams, buses, cars rolling by, lights, people….something is in the air….It is like ending up in another dimension. I hope some of the films will come to your town as well or maybe you have already seen some of them. Although, it is an international filmfestival I have even collected some dainty morsels (godbitar) from Sweden and the Nordic countries. Don´t forget it is about sharing! So if you have favorite films or new ones to recommend please, share it with us!
