Maja Lindström

The Gang of Lidingö is a story about the art of taking what you want. The same day the 70's became the 80's we left our tiny flat in the city. We did a turnaround. Bought a big house at Lidingö and were suddenly far away from our beloved demonstrations against capitalism's exploitation of the poor.

A dance film by Maja Lindström in collaboration with choreographer Anna Vnuk. Awarded Best Musical Composition, Georgetown Indy Short Film Festival, Washington DC.

On their way home by bike through a deserted industrial area, a mother and her son starts to talk about what happened when our dream of eternal economic growth collided with the peak, and following decline in global oil production. In a sad but quite plausible picture of the near future, our children make us accountable for today's irresponsible way of living.

Once upon a time, a mother would no longer be available. Animated film in black and white about how unreal it is to lose a close relative. And parents wish they could say to their children that all fairy tales end well.
