Pretto film
I make videos. Short ones, normally between 3 to 20 minutes. I do everything myself; script, video, editing, electronica and soundscapes. This is essential for me.
Soundscapes and electronica are vital parts in my videos. I use synthesizers, both analogue and digital, and tweaked analogue sounds.

In viewing avant-garde film it is most helpful to suspend questions like – where are we going – how it is going to end – and, instead perceive the fundamental experi-ence of the film itself.
The first cut triggers ideas […] and lets you see what actually happens between two shots.

We are all travelers. Through space and time, from life to death - and beyond. Everything is movement, transitions, rhythm, patterns. So much in life consists of repetition, variations on a theme, mixed by life itself; it's all very subtle but now and then we become aware of it - Déjà vu!

A kind of war drama that takes place mostly within the viewers head. A few stills, sound effects and a soundscape along with some video effects and a couple of old portraits in b/w - and of course, blended with different memories from the viewers. That's all.

This short film is compiled from two other short films; Urban People and Water, filmed in the central areas of Stockholm .
One of the main question the film raises is: Is it possible to separate Nature from Man at this point in the history of evolution? Nature - from the dawn of Man under the influence.

This short film from Pretto film deals with tracks of time and memories and our deepest wish to be remembered by those who will survive us. The structure and the mood in the film is closely connected to the music by Michael Nyman and one of the soundtracks from The Piano, directed by Jane Campion in 1993, The Embrace/Lost and Found and also my contribution to The Michael Nyman Competition, August 2009.

One Way Elevator is a journey from the sky down to earth. What I had in mind when making this film was the God Indras daughter and the journey she did down to earth in the play of August Strindberg, A Dream Play. The whole film is a vertical journey and consists only of stills, except for a short video intro. Finally, we see some people and hear the sound of an elevator door. Where are we?

Urban life - we take a short trip with the underground, take a look at a skyline, then at a board with train arrivals. All this ending up with a question - Will I dream? Dream of what? When? In the afterlife? I don't know.
