FILMKLUBBEN SANDGATAN 8
Filmklubben Sandgatan 8 samlar unga vuxna och studenter för att se och diskutera kvalitetsfilm på Sandgatan 8. Vi ser filmer som kan ge underlag för reflektion, filmer som är gjord med mänskligt engagemang. Det vi söker är inte film med “budskap”, men som närmar sig världen med nyfikenhet och öppen blick. Bra film fördjupar livet. Där finns det som inte går att förklara, människans och världens mysterium. Och evangeliets sanning, gömd i den vanliga världen, kan också framträda. Under några år har vi sett film bland annat av Andrej Tarkovsky, Robert Bresson och Jim Jarmusch, Hirokaso Oz, Erich Rohmer, Ingemar Bergman, Ruben Östlund, Bo Widerberg och många andra. Vi har på detta sätt besökt Japan och Senegal, Iran och Rumänien, Burkina Faso och Saudi Arabien. Vi blandar “svårare” och “enklare” filmer, svenskt och annat -alltid med engelsk undertext.
Medlemskap i Filmklubben 2020: 80 Skr tecknas på plats. Medlemmar kan också låna redan visade filmer.
Ett FilmKommando med Simon, Daniel och br Björn ansvarar för programmet.

Filmdagar 26-29 februari
PASOLINI WHAT HAS TO BE SAID
”I´m a man from another era”, says Pier Paolo Pasolini in an interview at end of his life. Not all true, but his statement translates his unease and criticism of Western society, more specifically Italian sociaty around 1970.
Pasolini, a man of great complexity, with broad interests and skills, moved from one creative expression to another. Poetry, politics, film making and philosophy, in all areas he choosed for the adequate mean of expression of his visions. Some of his films are among the most discussed, most appreciated and most critizized pieces ever made.
Pasolini had to talk and he talks in natural lyrics, playful erotic and even dark sado-masochistic violence. His work, whatever form choosen, expresses love for the simplicity of the uneducated and traditional peasants and workers, people living their own culture in local regions of Italy. It´s a world breathing Catholic faith and mythology, directness, joy, violence and eroticism. Pasolini gives witness to this popular world being destroyed by the rise of technocratic society, the consumism and the modern media world.
During our Film Days we present three very different pieces. The Gospel according to Matthew, Teorema and Mamma Roma takes place in different times and surroundings. In common they have the intense engagement and longing for life in contrast to conformism and destructive power.

LOVING CAPTIVITY
No movie director has started a career more successfully than Mike Nichols (1931–2014). His first two films are unanimously considered as masterpieces: Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) and The Graduate (1967). Both were, each by themselves, groundbreaking accomplishments, fundamental to 1960s cinema, definite classics – not only for formidable acting by Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and debutant Dustin Hoffmann, but also for their novel presentation of a, for its time, provocative substance: hidden terms in love. WAVW displays the broken backstage of a bourgeois marriage, TG demonstrates a trap of desire. Nichols’s courageous treatment of such toxic affairs continued in Carnal Know- ledge (1971), a brutally honest and disarming portrayal of the sexually liberated America of the ’60s. The erotic theme was pushed further later on, in Closer (2004), but by then time had fled Nichols. He was a man of the late ’60s and early ’70s, when so many constraints were loosened but not lost; arguably, he is one of that era’s finest artists. The scheduled films are made with a maximum of expressive freedom. In them, we however meet captivated people – individuals imprisoned in systems like marriage, encapsulated in demanding desire and duty. Sometimes they are aware of their cirumstances and do what they can to endure. The situation is most acute in Catch-22 (1970), a “war comedy” scened in World War II. Its audience is thrown from hilarious jests to naturalistic imagery of bloody hell. The question it puts is this: Can you be sane in a crazy world? Indeed, a catch-22.

Filmer av Debra Granik och bröderna Coen
Debra Granik
Getting close
Debra Granik has a special ability. Her films breathes closeness and profound interest in what is different and put aside in the American – or more generally Western – society. Leaving the well-known, she goes out to find people at the edge, in situations where persistence in love is an urgent need. Her main characters, young girls, find strength in the impossible. Granik makes them speak to us and makes us listen, as she does herself. The girls portraited are living i close realtions. They are, as in the Mike Nichols films captured in their relations.
Debra Granik was born in Washington DC in 1963 and has made only a few longer films. In Winter´s bone 2010, she went to the Missouri Ozark mountains, to poor and desolated people and invited them to contribute in telling their story. Leave no trace made in 2018 enters an other outcast reality. Here the scenery of the forestian and wild northeast USA attracted Granik, making a film with the beauty and sensulity of the natural world in contrast to a hard and bleak modern society.
“It’s a very hard thing for mainstream society to accommodate non-conforming individuals, says Granik in an interview and concludes her view: ”I would say live and let live.”
Bröderna Coen
Commonplace, yet extraordinary
Joel and Ethan Coen, commonly known as the Coen brothers, were born in a Jewish family in the 50s and have gained international fame with films such as The Big Lebowski (1998), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) and No Country for Old Men (2007). As students Joel graduated with a bachelors degree in film and Ethan in philosophy. The brothers direct and produce their films together although up until 2004 Joel received sole credit for
directing and Ethan for producing. Their
perhaps most famous trademarks are their a
bility to tell a simple story in a complex
manner, mixing several already established genres and, to quote them, ”not giving a shit about peoples sensitivities” in their film making. By doing so they manage exposing the simple truths of everyday life and creating a world of believable and often flawed characters that manage to engage the viewer in a humbling and humane way.

Reality Transcended – Three films by Robert Bresson
To manipulate feelings cinema is a strong medium. The plot told with dramatic tension and peaks, acting emphasizing feelings of love or conflict, it all aims at seducing the audience. Beautiful sceneries contribute and not at least a soundtrack that directs the story more than any image. Shots taken from always new camera angles fulfills the variations. The audience should be shrilled and why not? The distractions do have their place. But will they ever satisfy the ones hungry for not only sweets but really nourishing food? To get nourished in the spirit, food for the inner person to live and to be lifted up demands other means.
The repetitions of everyday life can seem monstrously dull. Days comes and goes and life passes by. The films of Robert Bresson make use of the cold reality to create films where the factualities of the everyday is underlined. That is what is in focus, but does not have the last word. Amazingly enough the continous flow of the films has the quality of opening the door to a bigger reality. The small details of actions in everyday life transcends to a spiritual opening. Man´s aspiration to freedom and brotherhood breaks through. The walls of imprisonment of the everyday is torn down by an insisting human presence.
This is a spirituality from below where it isn´t supernatural vision opens reality, no extra sentiments is used to fill the void. It is the harsh reality that counts. The transformation of the human person arrives in the middle of his normal activities, accomplishing his tasks and failing to fulfill the expectations of the surrounding environment.
Is that the end? Finally there is a burst out from the surface of which the everyday life reality is made, the dictatorship of the factual all breaks down. Relief and beauty is all there against a still greyish background.

End of semester two films by Wim Wenders:
Wim Wenders – Poet of the open road
Wenders was born in 1945 into a catholic family living in Düsseldorf. He studied medicine and philosophy until he dropped out and instead moved to Paris in order to become a painter. He was almost obsessed with film and cinema and often watched up to five films a day at the local movie theatre, and later applied to the national film school of France but failed to enter. Despite having been let down, he decided that film making was to be his life’s work back in Germany.In the 1970s, together with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog, Wenders was one of the founding members of the New German Cinema. Today he is perhaps best known for his documentaries but is equally adept at dramas. Because of his reoccurring cinematographer, Robby Müller, Wenders films often feature a particularly impressive visual imagery. Another common trademark is his interest in finding identity in a greater context and the searching for truth in the world that surrounds us, following the journeys of people as they search for themselves.

19.30 TROLLFLÖJTEN/The magic flute
Ingmar Bergman, Sverige 1974, 92 min
The classic opera by Mozart made alive again through the interpretation of Bergman. In an interesting take where we watch both scene and audience in an attempt to explore the “noble magic of the illusory theater” Bergman creates something new, but still stays true to the original.
Bergman 100- fear, revolt, joy
by Magnus Ingvarson, editor, Lund
Ingmar Bergman was the first to treat existential issues on the silver screen. What Dostoyevsky is to literature, Bergman is to cinema. On his 100th year, Sweden celebrates its greatest artist, and Domino joins in.
As the son of a Lutheran priest, Bergman’s narrative often takes the form of religious doubt, themes of humiliation and, eventually, the search of a dignity within the human spirit, beyond a burdensome notion of God. But as previous discussions in Domino FilmForum have shown, Bergman never really leaves the Christian realm, and his world famous atheism is, on a closer look, not that convincing.
On a psychological level, Bergman depicts the constant, inescapable interplay between layered human masks, put on for protection but causing personal breakdown.
But be not fooled. The play, and indeed even the mask, carries also joy. Fundamentally, Bergman is a man of the theatre, with a loving embrace of all its genres from drama to comedy. This becomes evident not the least in the festive adaptation of The Magic Flute, not to be missed.
Cinematographically, Bergman was daringly innovative. In Summer with Monika (1953), an actor (Harriet Andersson) for the first time in the history of cinema makes eye-contact with the audience. The close-up of the human face is, in Bergman’s view, the true soul of film, and his zooming technique vitalised the intimate co-operation with the actors, which became legendary.
Sawdust and Tinsel and Torment were shot 65 and 74 years ago. They still speak to us. This is to say: Bergman made films in black and white, but we can see the colours.

Att lita på – filmer av Kelly Reichardt
In the films of Kelly Reichardt we meet with people facing exceptional situations where trust is questioned. The storytelling is seemingly minimalist, days passing by with everyday events, but these are standing in front of the dramatic background. Reichardt takes no interest in telling the meaning of the plot: “That goes against everything that I just worked for. So I have no interest in summing it all up. It’s all out there”, as she says in an interview 2014. Life is interesting enough if you stay with it.

FilmDagar : Vad längtar du efter
Astrid also joins for the discussion after Thursday and Friday films.
TOKYO STORY by Yasujiro Ozu, Japan 1952, 136 min
An old couple come to visit their children who moved to Tokyo. In a quiet way the visit goes bad. From a few elements Yasujiro Ozu made one of the greatest films of all time. It doesn’t force the emotions, but rather invites to share and understand the complexity of life in a quiet way.
Late Autumn begins and ends with an almost tangible scene of human warmth. From the opening memorial service to the closing scenes, a wedding, the film creates an atmosphere thick with irresistible humour and depth. Beyond the more aesthetic details Late Autumn is at heart an undeniably humorous yet touching story about the nature of humanity.
In this documentary Wim Wenders travels to Japan in search for the Tokyo seen in Ozu´s films. What he seems to find is something else, and he takes us through what might be a totally commercialized city. But is it all? Wenders stays in wonder. He does not find much of Tokyo city of Ozu, but he does find something, perhaps more interesting, a way to look at and to participate in the intimacy of peoples lives.
FilmDagarnas tema
Vad längtar du efter?
Människor längtar ständigt efter olika saker, allt beroende på ens personliga dispositioner. Sett ur ett filosofiskt perspektiv har ett vanligt sätt att förklara denna längtan varit att reducera den till viljan att vara glad. Såväl Aristoteles som St. Thomas av Aquino har som exempel på detta utnämnt lyckan som människolivets yttersta mål. Men enligt dem rör det sig inte om social status, materiell rikedom eller njutning.
I den japanske regissören Yazujirô Ozus filmer möter vi den längtande människan. Berättelserna utspelar sig i efterkrigstidens Japan under det oundvikliga uppbrottet mellan den gamla tidens skönhet och isolation å ena sidan och å andra modernitetens ständigt hänförande intryck och avförtrollning. Dessa dramer kompletteras av regissörens nyskapande talang på ett rent praktiskt plan då filmerna systematiskt tar avstånd från den etablerade stilen som präglade Hollywood. Ett kännetecken är de låga kameraplaceringarna och de statiska scenerna där kameran inte rör sig alls. Nyskapandet är dock inte ett ändamål i sig för Ozu utan hans speciella stil fyller funktionen av att ge filmerna en mer egen och intim karaktär.
I motsatsförhållandena modernt – tradition samt förälder – barn som Ozu beskriver, kommer ofta längtan efter lycka till uttryck. De unga vill söka nya vägar att utforska bortom det traditionen eller föräldrarna genom erfarenhet menar är bäst för dem. Men i slutändan kan de varken finna sig i den nya tidens föränderlighet eller i nostalgi gentemot den gamla. Detta eftersom deras glädjelängtan inte går att finna i lust, rikedom, ära eller i det kroppsligt goda utan i något helt annat, precis som Aristoteles och St. Thomas av Aquino påpekar. Det innebär dock inte att livets mer materiella aspekter är av ondo eller bör förbises, utan att de inte är tillräckliga i sig.
Men vad är det då som saknas? I Johannesevangeliet 6:27 uppenbarar sig en lösning på gåtan: ”Men sträva inte bara efter att få mat för dagen, utan sträva efter den mat som kan ge er evigt liv, den mat som jag, Människosonen, ska ge er”.
Daniel Markus och Simon Bakran, VT-18
The Directors
YASOJIRO OZU
Japanese director, born in 1902. Ozu explored the tensions of a country trying to reconcile modern and traditional values. Ozu started as a director of silent cinema in the 20ies and Late Autumn in our program is his very last film in 1962. His camera work was now perfected: a fixed image frame within a mostly closed in space. The severity of composition brings forward the vividness of the characters, a humouristic friendlyness and comic surprises. With the words from Wim Wenders in our film Tokyo Ga:
“If in our century, something sacred still existed, if there were something like a sacred treasure of the cinema, then for me that would have to be the work of the Japanese director Yasujirô Ozu… never again since has the cinema been so close to its essence and its purpose: to present an image of man in our century, a usable, true and valid image in which he not only recognises himself, but from which, above all, he may learn about himself.”
WIM WENDERS
In the70ies Wim Wenders, born 1946 in the American zone of the occupied Germany, made a trilogy of road movies. Moving around the world has also been his way, depicting human consequenses of the modern society. His critics are not of the confrontative kind, rather poetically beautiful portraits on the threats and possibilities of man.
Wenders belongs to the young german film makers, together with Rainer Fassbinder and Werner Herzog, looking behind the facad of the post-war German society in the 60ies. For Wenders the person alive behind the mask of conventions and mass produced individuality seems to be the main theme.
Among his films you find the quite burlesque The American Friend in 1978, Paris Texas, an influential film in the 80ies which was followed by Wings of Desire with an angel walking around Berlin, then still a devided city, consoling and helping people in need. In later years Wenders has focused on documentaries, still creating films faithful to his humanistic look on man.

Januari 2018: Pauline på stranden/ Pauline at the beach, Eric Rohmer, Frankrike 1983, 94 min
The French director Eric Rohmer invites us into the lives of two women on vacation, Pauline and her cousin, Marion. He portrays the first tentative experiences of romance in all its tension and beauty. With its surprisingly funny and natural (and very French) manner in which the characters of the film react to each other it is very easy to get involved and the story becomes almost like a part of your own life. Rohmer shows us that love and relationships, very difficult and complex although both engaging and beautiful.

Andrej Zvyagintsev, Russia 2003, 105 min

Kan tvivel hjälpa?
I diktaturer som Sovjetunionen, Nazi-Tyskland framställs propagandabilder med unga och starka människor,som ger sig själva helt och fullt i arbetet för nationen. Blicken är spänd framåt, mot det ljuset dit man vet att partiet och ledningen för dem. Alla människor är glada, sunda, helgjutna.
Den programmatiska glädjen och trosvissa framåtandan karaktäriserar auktoritära system, stater och rörelser. Verkligheten framställs lätt att förstå. Man vet vart man skall och vilken som är den rätta vägen. För detta kämpar man med alla medel.
I det auktoritära har tron konsumerats av ett vetande som tränger ut alla tvivel. Tron på det Enda har blivit allenarådande och verkligheten delats i två: för och emot, ont mot gott, vi mot dem. Dualismen leder i sin konsekvens till sadistiskt våld: det onda skall utrotas, det Enda skall råda.
Principen ligger djupt begravd i det västerländska tänkandet. den kristna traditionen också den burit det auktoritära med sig, min i dess kärna har något annat gjort sig hört. När Gud, annars långt borta, föds som människa träder en tredje part in i den skapade världen, Guds kropp att tillbe och längta efter. Här friläggs en möjlighet att få kontakt med det totalt annorlunda och för kroppen och hjärtat kan smaka det helt omöjliga. Det som undertryckts av vetandet att Ett är rätt, Ett är gott, kan framträda som en glädjefylld längtan som är uppfylld mitt i törsten och hungern. I Bergmans Nattvardsgästerna och Det sjunde inseglet som vi visar på vårens FilmDagar möter vi tvivlare på väg. Det är människor som brottas med världen och dess auktoritära traditioner. Livet verkar torrt och fattigt på glädje och vägen framåt svår att urskilja. Men behöver man veta? Kan livet istället vara tillit till det okända, det som inte manifesterar sig med högljudda paroller? Kan det vara en liten stig, eller en lekfull kärlek? I Zvyagintsevs Återkomsten ställs saken på sin spets när den auktoritäre fadern provocerar sonen till upproriskhet.
Nutiden präglas av längtan efter tydlighet och säkerhet i en värld som framträder som oöverskådlig. Våra tre filmer kan ses som ett korrelat till det enkla svaret och ger en ton av något annat, något som viskar svagt i människors inre.
Björn Engdahl op
Ingmar Bergman
Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007) is one of the most wellknown Swedes of his generation,
famous because of his films, seen and discussed all over the world.
It´s films with psychological depth and tension, intense photo with close-ups
and exceptional acting. The films and his personal life goes hand in hand.
Son of a Lutheran priest he turns away from faith, or perhaps rather struggles
with his loss and the distance of God. The struggle is present in many films.
Authoritarian men, their counterparts of longing women and men, families
enjoying life careless of religious questions reappears frequyently. Where
can meaning be found, how can we live together are some questions.
Early films like Hets/Torment (1945) are already personal art pieces of film,
but especially the films from the 60ies develops his filming, which you meet in
our two films.
Andrej Zvyagintsev
Andrej Zvyagintsev could perhaps be seen as a successor of Bergman and Andrej
Tarkovsky. The long takings, the tension,the spiritual background expressed in
themes and filming estabishes a connection. Born in 1964 he is of a younger generation.The Return is his first film made at the shores of the lake of Ladoga. The
northern sites reappear in his films, as the last one made in 2013, Leviathan, made
at a coast of village in the Murmansk region. His films are intense defense s of the
human person, tending to be put aside by the society.

19.15 Återkomsten av Andrej Zvyaginsky, Ryssland 2004
PROGRAM 2016
SUNDAY November 6th at 19.15:
Carnage by Roman Polanski, USA 2011, 80 min
After a playground fight that left one of their preteen sons slightly injured, two well-off Brooklyn couples meet to discuss, in civilized terms and in the spirit of community, how the aggressor can make amends to the injured. The slightly forced veneer of politeness with which the two couples’ meeting begins soon degenerates into their own sort of childish playground squabbling. Made from a stage play this film all the same is very dynamic and alive. Is it also funny?
Film and Discussion: Me and you and everyone we know by Miranda July, USA 2005, 91 min
FILMDAGAR -Tre filmer på temat Dröm och verklighet:
Torsdag 22 september
19.15 American Beauty, av Sam Mendes, USA 1999, 117 min
A famous film on a man who fears growing older, losing the hope of true love and not being respected by those who know him best. Lester Burnham, the hero of “American Beauty,” is played by Kevin Spacey as a man who is unloved by his daughter, ignored by his wife and unnecessary at work. “I’ll be dead in a year,” he tells us in almost the first words of the movie. “In a way, I’m dead already.” The movie is the story of his rebellion.
Fredag 23 september
16.15 Revolutionary Road, av Sam Mendes, USA 2008, 113 min
”Let´s move to Paris and start a new life”, April one day says to her husband, played by Leonardo DiCapro. And they start realizing their project, which opens unexpected feelings, possibilities and reactions. As in his previous film, Sam Mendes does not tell us what to think or how to react to the story, leaving the interpretations to the spectators.
18.45 Middag – ta med något att dela.
19.45 Mandomsprovet (The Graduate) av Mike Nichols, USA 1967, 106 min
Benjamin is young gradute who does not kow what to do in life, just hat he does not want to live like his middle-class professional parents. He is invited in a relationship with the much older Mrs Robinson and from there it will come many complications. The Graduate is a classic with eternal, undated appeal. It´s easy to feel with Benjamin, his woories and lack of self-confidence. The film includes the famous soundtrack by Sinon&Garfunkle, with songs like Sounds of Silence and Mrs Robinson that elegantly mingles with the story.
Dream and reality
Dreaming can indeed be very pleasant. To dream about a nice holiday at the beach or living in a house beautifully situated by the sea, and to decorate these images with nice details seems to invite me to a good life. Our society invites us incessantly to this kind of dreaming and there are an endless amount of possibilities to dream of a better and more comfortable life. If I only took the chance…
The three films of the Film Days at Sandgatan this Autumn talks a talk of people who are about to make real some of their more radical dreams. They also do jump and start off for a new life.
Realizing dreams are necessary parts a part of the self-accomplishment and the identity-building that has become important in postmodernity. In surch to become a distinct person who successfully manage life. it seems natural to realize what I dream of.
The Danish philosopher Sören Kierkegaard once said that the worst thing that can happen to a person is that he gets the chance to realies his dreams. Do our films confirm this statement? At least you may find that personal imperfection and unsatisfaction can be efficient motors behind dreaming. At the core of dreaming stands also darker sides of the human person.
The films we show talks about what can happen when a dreaming of a radical change meets with the realities of life. At a certain moment there is a turn to the present time of the dreamer. Will he at this point accept that the dream was only a dream. Or will the dream come through? What happens in the moment of truth?

Mannen på taket/The man on the roof, Bo Widerberg Sverige 1976, 107 min
Short introduction by Nicolaus this time.
Man on the roof is the first of many Beck- movies, but also very different. I crime drame, but also much more. A murder and all the tragic around, for all parts involved .What invest this film with seriousness and a claim on our attention are the characters themselves. They inhabit a real world and are scetched in their environment and their relationships swiftly and deep. Bo Widerberg, the film maker, an ordinary Malmö guy is the greatest director in Sweden in his generation. It´s coherent, exciting, humanistic and with a sharp eye on the Swedish reality.

De ofrivilliga av Ruben Östlund, Sverige 2010

kl 16 En kärlekshistoria av Roy Andersson, Sverige 1969
Två unga människor på väg ut ur barndomen möts och blir förälskade. Inte alls enkelt att hitta vägen i detta spel i en tid när allt är nytt – ett Sverige på väg bort från alla traditioner in i hypermoderniteten. Dock kärleken är alltid vacker i alla tider,,,
kl 18.30 Middag, ta med något att dela med de andra
kl 19.30 Play av Ruben Östlund, Sverige 2014
En vanlig dag i Göteborg, två pojkgäng från olika delar av stan möts i ett köpcenter. Spelet börjar och sedan finns ingen väg ut. Hur kunde det här hända? Filmen baseras på en verklig händelse.
Söndag 24 januari kl 19.30
Samba Traoré av Idrissa Ouedraogo, Burkina Faso 1992
En man återvänder till sin by och gifter sig. Men varifrån kommer hans rikedom? Det finns i den här filmen en stark livskänsla, som kommer både från skådespeleriet och från miljön, med en handling som äger rum nästan uteslutande utomhus. Förutom filmens moraliska dilemma, så är den också humoristisk och rolig.
VANDRINGAR
Ibland ordnar vi vandringar i naturen. Vi går till Dominikansystrarnas kloster i Rögle utanför Lund och firar mässa, eller tar bussen någonstans och vandrar halva dagen, med picnic någonstans på vägen.
RETRÄTT
En eller fler gånger per år samlas vi ett veckoslut till reträtt kring ett tema, t ex i Rögle, med bön och samtal och perioder av tystnad. En grupp har åkt till Gotland en vecka på sommaren och haft lägerreträtt, att dela livet och göra saker tillsammans.
