Filmization of Theodor Kallifatide’s autobiographical novel Foreigners, which, under the direction of Johan Bergenstråhle, became one of the first films about post-emigration to Sweden.

In 1970, Theodor Kallifatides came out with the autobiographical novel Foreigners , which portrays some Greek immigrants in Stockholm with the young Stelios in the lead role. Director Johan Bergenstråhle stuck to the story of the Greeks’ encounter with Swedish society and decided to make a film of the novel. He wrote the script together with Kallifatides and the film became one of the first films about post-war immigration to Sweden.Read More »

Confrontation between a young neo-Nazi and a Jewish doctor, 11 August 1999

Author: PM-19 from Eindhoven, Holland

A chilling, breathtaking, frightening film. A great psychological drama, about a young Swedish neo-nazi, who has been beaten up by other neo-nazis and hides from them in a train. In there, he catches the attention of an older Jewish doctor, Jacob, who notices that Soren ( the neo-nazi ) is injured and invites him to come to his practice to treat him. I found it so very touching that this Jewish man, with all his horrible memories( his entire family died in Auschwitz ), offers his help to this young man, even though he undoubtably must have noticed that it is a neo-nazi, with obviously the anti-Semetic ideas of this movement.Read More »
