Short film day
20 december 2024
14:00 – 16:00
What do you do on one of the shortest days of the year?
Watching short films at Havremagasinet of course!
On 20 December, we’ll be enjoying short films of all kinds. Take a break from the Christmas gift’s shopping and come to Café Pampas for popcorn, something good to drink and not the least a fantastic selection of short films.
Short Film Day is organised with the support of the Swedish Film Institute and Folkets Bio.

I died in Irpin

24 February 2022 my boyfriend and I fled from Kyiv to Irpin. We spent 10 days in blockaded city and managed to escape with the last evacuation convoy. Time passed, but the feeling that I died in Irpin never left me since then. The film reconstructs this true story of survival through a personal and subjective lens.

Stale Smoke
Regi: Arthur Jamain

Can we say that we were sexually assaulted by our brother to our own mother? The obvious answer should be yes. However, few come out of the silence. The question we ask ourselves is “Why aren’t we talking about it ?”
