Director Mark van de Cloe / Netherlands / 2010

The film which evades stereotypes speaks about relationships between parents and children, as well as resolution and ability not to give up. Instead of straightforward moral the issues about willpower and physical strength, friendship and responsibility are elevated. The pastel colours create a peaceful atmosphere which accentuates the uniqueness of the film.

 

I rymden finns inga känslor

Director Andreas Öhman / Sweden / 2010

Simple Simon is a movie about the boy with Asperger’s syndrome. But different from other movies that talk about the same topic, it’s very bright, funny and inspiring. It talks about selflessness, sincere friendship, love and not being afraid of changes, which is really important nowadays. This movie helps to understand people that are different from us, get to know their own world a little bit better.
