Burning the City (2011)

Sweden's largest independent dance institution Skånes Dansteater and the acclaimed Swedish band Gaby and the Guns stand behind this eight poetic minutes with eight dancers, four band members and a whole bunch of Malmo milieus, known and unknown. The film is about shaking life into things that has become fixed in patterns. About a feeling of being trapped in a place that feels smaller every day. It is calling on the city to give something back, to challenge and be my drug in the sentence of overwhelming us with its full potential and persuade us to stay when we threaten to leave or even burn it to the ground.
