This year LOUISE BERG (S) graduated from the Universität der Künste in Berlin with the poignant film Ich bin ein Star (22 min., mini dv). A film about herself, her family and the connection between Sweden and Germany.
In Sweden there is a saying that the grass is always
greener on the other side, that you always long to be
somewhere else.
Berlin used to be the gate to the world, a possibility
to get away from the darkness and snow in Sweden and
to be the person you wanted to be.
The greatest star in the third reich was a swede,
Zarah Leander.
My greataunt, Ingeborg on the contrary was a quite
small star.
This is a movie about me, my family and the connection
between Sweden and Germany in the last century. (LB)
