When Molly moves into her new apartment after a tragic accident, a strange noise from upstairs begins to unnerve her. The disturbing knocking sounds like a call for help or perhaps a message in morse code. As its intensity grows, she confronts her neighbours but it becomes clear that no one can hear what she is hearing. As everyone starts to question Molly, including Molly herself, she is thrust into an unsettling quest to uncover the truth in a world where truth and reality appears to be just beyond her reach.
Director Frida Kempff Screenwriter Emma Broström Producer Erik Andersson Executive producer Federico Ambrosini
Produced in cooperation with The Swedish Film Institute and SVT / Moving Sweden with support from Norrköpings Filmfond.

Last class of the week. Niklas is about to change school after years of bullying but he refuses to leave the classroom without restitution. Cleo hesitates to intervene but finds herself in a dilemma that forces her to make a choice.
I totally loved VANHEDER the first time I watched it, not only was it very well made but the way you framed the whole experience from the new girl's perspective was such a refreshingly different approach to a film about bullying.

Change Attitude
In icy mid-winter Toronto, a group of pregnant women desperately strive to regain control of their lives. They have insurmountable forces against them: homelessness, drug addiction, violent relationships. But following these particular individuals are the attentive eyes of their guardian angels, the social workers of a unique public health initiative. If these expectant mothers can only manage to break free of the vicious cycles dogging their steps, they have a chance to keep their newborns.
