New in our Distribution Range: Films by Lennart Malmer and Ingela Romare

Two films by Swedish documentary filmmakers Lennart Malmer and Ingela Romare have found their way into the Arsenal collection thanks to the "Visionary Archive"in project: EN NATIONS FÖDELSE (Birth of a Nation, Sweden 1973) and VREDENS POESI (Poetry of Anger, Sweden 1978).

The central moment of EN NATIONS FÖDELSE is Guinea-Bissau’s unilateral declaration of independence on September 24, 1973, when the state was officially founded. VREDENS POESI blends fiction and documentary to create a personal report of Malmer’s recollections of those years.
