SUPPORTERN

The Swedish Supporter

Suecia. 2011. Color. 13 min. Ficción. .
  • Film Director: Pella Kågerman; Hugo Lilja.
It's a short film that provides an insight into Swedish supporter culture. Through its main character Axel we are drawn into a world of dependency, affirmation and violence. Hooliganism is an ever-present phenomenon, reported on daily in the media. We see how a more organised criminality blends in with families with children and ordinary fans. And all the time we ask the question: 'how close is this violence to ourselves?'
