Details

Iraq's Invisible Beauty (2023) is a captivating documentary that explores the profound transformations that Iraq has undergone over the years. The film revolves around the life and work of Latif Al Ani, an acclaimed photographer who captured the beauty of Iraq before the devastation of war. Latif's photographs from the past serve as a window into a world long gone, prompting him to embark on a journey across his country in search of the people and places he once immortalized through his lens.

As Latif travels, he shares his stunning photographs with fellow Iraqis who no longer recognize the vibrant and prosperous Iraq that he reveals to them. Through these encounters, the film effectively captures the dichotomy between the fading memories of a prosperous past and the stark reality of the present.

Iraq's Invisible Beauty delves deep into the history and culture of Iraq, shedding light on the country's complex narrative through Latif's personal and artistic journey. The documentary meticulously showcases the resilience of the Iraqi people amidst adversity and destruction, while also exploring the beauty that still exists within the land and its inhabitants.

With its visually stunning imagery and thought-provoking narrative, Iraq's Invisible Beauty is a poignant and powerful exploration of the transformational impact of war. This film reminds audiences of the importance of preserving the history and beauty of a nation, and invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with the passing of time and the fragility of memory.

Hemligheten 1982

About the problems and questions that arise when a young person becomes an adult, what occupies his thoughts, what is important in meetings with other people, how he searches for his own place in life, how he handles the meeting with love and the person who becomes the most important there. When the film is shot, the rock singer Hasse is 24 years old; he lives in Stockholm. The camera follows him through his days, to the rock club, to the stage, to meetings with friends, parents and girls. He meets Johanna, who is 16, and what is called infatuation, eventually love, arises. How does Hasse now create a place for himself in life, how do they build up their community? Both are big-city children, raised in welfare Sweden, which perhaps no longer provides welfare but has created an emptiness, a meaninglessness.
