A Story of Anticipation

Running time: 7'38”

Production: SE 2016

100 years ago the great war broke out, bringing death, suffering, and sorrow. Soldiers, weapons, and explosives – we know this perfectly well. The war, however, also brought something completely different, something not talked about at all. Swedish director Freja Andersson has made a visually compelling documentary with elements of experimental cinema, and has shared an entirely different perspective on the issues of war. A year ago her film “Stories From the Wars” was presented at Szczecin European Film Festival.
