Jan Lindqvist's epic historiographic film project Tiden är en dröm/Time is a dream is an attempt to trace the birth of modern Sweden through the early still photographies from that time.

The second part of Lindqvist's "Time Is a Dream." In the mid-19th century, photography came to Sweden.

Tupamaros! is a 50-minute black and white documentary centering around many of the same incidents portrayed in semi-fiction style in "State of Siege", made for Swedish television by Jan Lindqvist with the aid of the Uruguayan liberation movement known popularly as the Tupamaros.

This is the story of "Kenta" & "Stoffe" and their friends. We get to follow them from when they're teenagers smoking dope and having fun. As the years pass "Stoffe" OD's on heroine and die ! "Kenta" get's of the heavy drugs while he still can. He is still with us. In the last one "Misfits To Yuppies", We get to meet their children who now is the age their parents was in the first film and see what happened to them. 3 Parts: 1. They Call Us Misfits, 1968.avi 2. A Decent Life, 1979.avi 3. Misfits To Yuppies, 1993.avi DivX, Swedish audio, English subtitles An epic and incredible series that EVERYONE should see ! They Call Us Misfits follows a group of teenagers as they become recipients, then victims, of Sweden's welfare-state economy. The group eschews traditional social values, engaging in selling drugs and smugly criticizing those who adhere to a schedule and a steady job. This documentary-style film interviews young people who feel disenfranchised and out of place in the world but show little if any ambition to improve their station in life. They willingly speak of their future hopes, providing they have any, and their childhood experiences which led to their present situation and philosophical beliefs. If They Call Us Misfits was a straightforward documentary about a generation adrift, then A Decent Life is a complex portrait of the same generation on its way to frightening collective suicide, where the weapon is a syringe full of heroin. The Swedish title is part1: "Dom kallar oss mods" part2: "Ett anst?ndigt liv" part3: "Det sociala arvet" In 1968, fresh from studies at the Swedish Institute of Film, a young man named Stefan Jarl made a feature documentary about two Stockholm "Mod" hippies. "They Call Us Misfits" was intended to allow teenagers to see themselves. The film not only succeeded in that, but – after some trouble with censors over sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll – it become a reference point for Scandinavian film. Jarl went on to make two more films about misfits Kenta and Stoffe in 1979 and 1993. In the sequels, restlessness and pot smoking give way to family trouble and heroin overdoses – plus the paradox of yuppie offspring. The films bare the unattractive underbelly of the Swedish welfare state. -- [Dec 2005]
