\"Ebbe<\/a>
\nEbbe the movie by Jane Magnusson and Karin af Klintberg<\/em><\/p>\n

The nominations for the Swedish Guldbagge<\/a>, the equivalent of Quebec’s Jutras<\/a> were very interesting.<\/strong> In the documentary category Ebbe the movie<\/a> by Jane Magnusson<\/a> and Karin af Klintberg<\/a> is a fascinating film about Publisher Ebbe Carlson<\/a>, a larger-than life character whose social climbing and political manipulations during several were so complex that it\u2019s impossible to distinguish fact from fiction. Wisely, the filmmakers don’t try doing that, opting instead for an exploration of ambiguities and contradictions. And they got the award. Videocracy<\/a> by Eric Gandini<\/a> ( who also made Surplus<\/a> and Sacrificio<\/a>) takes us behind the scenes of Berlusconi<\/a>\u2019s media & political power grabs and corrupt schemes in Italy. The Queen and I<\/a>, which I personally liked less, tells the story of Swedish-Iranian filmmaker Nahid Persson-Sarvestani<\/a>\u2019s relationship to the former Queen of Iran Farah Diba<\/a> and the recent history of that country.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to see that two of these films were made by swedes born outside of Sweden. And overall in this years Swedish Jutras, the women had the majority of the important nominations.<\/strong> Not only among the documentarians ( 2 out of three for best documentary), but also in fiction: 2 out or 3 of the directors ( Lisa Siwe<\/a> got the nod) and 2 out of 3 script writers. According to a film industry agreement, signed in 2006, the women “should” receive at least 40% of the subventions for script, directing and production. So far the goals haven’t been reached (it’s still between 20 to 30%) and the Swedish organization WIFT<\/a> demands a change into making the 40% obligatory.
