Alex bits and pieces

Show off.

Ok, who knows anything about a film called "Rum 1112".

Made in 2012 by Jonas Selberg Augustsén, as far as I can tell it's a semi doco based on the 1982 doco by Wim Wenders.

Here's the SFI page on it. http://www.sfi.se/sv/Cinemateket/Stad/Stockholm/?date=2012-04-05&title=Rum+1112,+Jonas+Selberg+Augusts%c3%a9n+%2b+Room+666

Here's the trailer on Vimeo. http://vimeo.com/34405971

Here's a pic from the trailer.



It's the only relevant image on the trailer BTW.

More research needed I feel.

[Ian]

Cool.

A bit more while I'm here early.

It's a doco "Room 1112" (in English), remake of the Wenders Room 666 from 1982.

A page from Altofilm in English. http://www.altofilm.se/R1112.html

and a Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rum-1112/272831969444987#!/pages/Rum-1112/272831969444987

Looks like Alex is just one of a number of filmmakers interviewed in room 1112 of the Riverton Hotel in Gothenburg.
The film seems to have premiered at the Göteborg International Film Festival in January 2012.

We'll have to see if Alex's part gets uploaded onto YT, and then see if the wonderful Magnus can translate it for us.

[Ian]

Indeed. Doesn't sound much fun aside from Alex!

Awesome new ep.

Do you reckon I could put on a wig and a dress and get away with it?

[fish]

No. Try something different.
You shouldn't just dress in the clothes you always wear.


How fortunate I am in life to have someone handy who throws such wonderful straight lines.

[Ian]

Boom-tish!

[fish]

Not only but also....
Alex has directed another music vid.
It's for "Vulkano" and its called "Choir of Wolves".

See if you can spot the director just for a couple of seconds, at around the 1 minute mark.

[Ian]

Nope, missed it.

Nice find though, fishy.

[fish]

Nope, missed it. ...

I hope you weren't serious.
That is Alex in the pic, practising for the next time she meets up with you.


Two more clips have been posted on the SVT site, including one in English, on the Fröken Julie trillogy by Fia-Stina Sandlund. Alex looks absolutely gorgeous, and that wink.

I wonder if anyone noticed that the "guy" she gets it on with is actually a "woman".

[Ian]

Awesome.

In many different ways.
