THE ANDERSSON BROTHERS IS SELECTED FOR GÖTEBORG FILM FESTIVAL NORDIC DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION
THE FILM IS A CO-PRODUCTION BETWEEN CINENIC FILM AND MAKING MOVIES OY
Directed by Johanna Bernhardson, The Andersson Brothers is a documentary film about brothers Roy, Kjell, Ronny and Leif Andersson. It’s a tender portrayal of four stubborn brothers that becomes a touching contemporary Swedish family chronicle about dreams, class, heritage, and how difficult it can be to connect with each other.
“The Andersson brothers grew up in a working-class home in Gothenburg. Roy became an internationally acclaimed filmmaker while Ronny ended up as a homeless man. Kjell became a documentary filmmaker, and Leif lives as a disability pensioner. Johanna Bernhardson makes her feature film debut with a story about how life can turn out so differently despite seemingly similar circumstances. Through the portrayal of her father Leif and her uncles – with alcohol as a common thread – she also tells a tale of inheritance that stretches generations backward (and forward) in time. At the same time, she tries to get the brothers to stop sulking and reunite – before it's too late.”
The film will have its world premiere at Göteborg Film Festival 2024.
