Mamo Mobile phone, 2'30'', 2008 Sweden

Tell me something about you and artistic background.
I have a very eclectic background in various fields. As for today my work is mostly lensbased and I aim to mix genres and ways of expression to explore the potential of audio visual media.

Tell me about this film, initial idea and work process.
My film Mamo (mother in Polish) wasn't meant to be at first. It was a visit to Birkenau  (Auschwitz II), Poland in July 2008 that made me have to do it. All the video and sound is recorded with a mobile phone and then upscaled in postproduction.

Are you working on new projects at the moment?
Always. A live set. http://www.sweden-for-beginners.com Act 3 to 6: http://www.meaninglessness.org A 10 hour film to be released and deleted in Oktober 10, 2010:

Do you have specific influences in your film/video making?
All my inspirations comes from the daily life, desires, fantasies and experiences. That influences me.

Why is it important for you to show your film/video in a festival?
My work is made for an audience.

What role do you think Oslo Screen Festival should have to promote your work?
A nice event with a broad spectrum of work to be seen for the audience.
