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.
In a mixture of animated images and scenes played by actors, a situation is presented, which immediately changes into another, repeating itself, with flashes from the past – “the subjective memory”, and of the future – “the illuminated imagination”, to finally find itself almost back at the beginning, where everything is questioned once again.
