TEMPO DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL 07

8-11th November, 2007 in Stockholm
Sweden's Official Festival for Documentary Films

The 8th Tempo Documentary Festival presents new and creative documentary films with a main focus on the “New Europe”. More than 30 films from Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria and Sweden will have Swedish premieres, and many of the directors will attend the festival.

Join us on a guided tour to one of the last milkbars in Poland, spend a weekend in a datja, attend a casting session for politicians. Visit a Bulgarian concentration camp, meet brutal resistance in the streets of Minsk and go underground in Prague. As a final; why not an adventurous detective documentary?

Meet among others Marcel Lozinski, Polands most wellknown documentary filmmaker with experience from the fight for freedom during the communist years. In his HOW IT’S DONE we get to meet a PR-consultant who arranges crash courses for politicians to be. The prize-awarded Miroslaw Dembinski and principal character Franak Viachorka present A LESSON OF BELORUSSIAN, a film about young activists who are fighting for a free Belarus in new ways, for example through music videos. Also visiting is Lucie Králová (Czech Republic) who has made LOST HOLIDAY, Andrey Paounov (Bulgaria), the director of the opening film at the Cannes Film Festival and critically acclaimed THE MOSQUITO PROBLEM & OTHER STORIES and Robert Lakatos (Romania/Hungary), one of the five directors of ACROSS THE BORDER. There will also be a Swedish premiere for MILKBAR by Terese Mörnvik and Ewa Einhorn, a history about two stubborn women who against all odds is running an old milbar from Poland’s communist years.

We also recommend some selected international prize-winners, the filmmakers of tomorrow from film schools and the nominees of the STHLM.DOC-competition.

The festival ends with a grande party at Södra Teatern with film, DJ and a live performance with Fanfara Shavale. Don’t miss it!
