Filmform (est. 1950) is dedicated to preservation, promotion and worldwide distribution of experimental film and video art. Constantly expanding, the distribution catalogue spans from 1924 to the present, including works by Sweden’s most prominent artists and filmmakers, available to rent for public screenings and exhibitions as well as for educational purposes.
Annika Ström creates her own soundtrack, which she occasionally performs. Each song lasts about one minute, and she performs a total of ten songs. Due to the brief nature of the performance, many people miss the concerts.
Born in Helsingborg, Sweden in 1964. Lives and works in London, UK.
Annika Ström received her education at the Copenhagen art academy between 1991 and 1997. She works mainly with videos which come accompanied by her own soundtracks; with these soundtracks, she’s given several concerts and recorded three LP’s. Annika Ström’s videos deal with themes taken from her immediate surroundings, such as personal everyday habits and social conduct, often presented in a documentary format, mixed with herself acting out monologues or songs.
