Sweden’s Göteborg Film Festival unveiled its 2024 lineup today, featuring 250 feature films set to screen across ten days, with highlights including Handling the Undead, Norwegian filmmaker Thea Hvistendahl’s feature debut, starring Renate Resinsve and Anders Danielsen Lie. Other buzzy titles include the Finish title The Missile from filmmaker Miia Tervo and Morbius director Daniel Espinosa’s return to Nordic filmmaker with Madame Luna.
Handling the Undead opens the festival following its debut bow at Sundance. The pic, an adaptation of a novel by Let The Right One In writer John Ajvide Lindqvist, tells the story of three families recently left in mourning after the passing of loved ones. Suddenly, the power grid goes out, and the deceased begin to move.
Guests set to pass through Gothenburg include actor Ewan McGregor, who will receive the festival’s honorary dragon award for career achievement. He will also be in town to present the Nordic premiere of Niclas Larsson’s Mother, Couch. McGregor stars alongside Taylor Russell in the pic, which debuted at last year’s Toronto Film Festival. Elsewhere, Borgen Actress Sidse Babett Knudsen will receive the festival’s Nordic dragon award, Cannes head Thierry Frémaux and filmmaker Ruben Östlund will host an on-stage in-conversation session, and the festival will debut their AI-altered version of Ingmar Bergman’s landmark feature Persona.
This year’s edition, running January 26 – February 4, will be Jonas Holmberg‘s last as Göteborg Artistic Director. After a decade at the helm, Holmberg steps down and will join Sweden’s Kalmar Art Museum as director. Holmberg will be replaced by Pia Lundberg, formerly Counsellor for Cultural Affairs at the Embassy of Sweden in London. Below,
