Masterclass: Hubert Sauper, Austrian Documentary Director
The masterclass with Hubert Sauper will be a journey through his full body of work, in conversation with the world-renowned director himself. Hubert Sauper has a unique insight into the position of the “alien eye” when creating thought-provoking art and encouraging viewers to make their own connections while experiencing surreal slices of life.
Hubert Sauper’s film Epicentro won the 2020 Grand Jury Award at the Sundance World Documentary Competition.

Video Work: My Aunt – Ikram Abdulkadir
“I’m so happy to finally be able to share with you that I’m participating in this year’s Nordisk Panorama Film Festival with a short video I shot earlier this year of my aunt singing a song by the famous Somali artist, Ahmed Ali Egal, and a form of poetry known as gabley shimbir in Somali. To her, these songs are a reminder of a home she’s left and the days of peace before the civil war. To me, she is my connection to a time and place I’ll never be able to visit”, says Ikram Abdulkadir. Ikram Abdulkadir (b. 1995, Nairobi) is a Malmö-based photographer and poet – and the creative force behind the Instagram account @ikramianism. 21-23 Sep her film is shown at Inter Arts Center in Malmö. Curator: C. Grace Chang

Waste Not, Want Not at Malmö City Library and Online
Always inquisitive and willing to try something new, Jan Ijäs’ films aren’t easy to categorise but are all the more interesting for it. Jan Ijäs has been developing an excellent series on the theme of waste, and we can present two episodes (Waste no.4 New York, New York and Waste no.6 How Great), the first exploring waste through twelve cemeteries and one land fill – and the second looking at addiction, the internet, and the digital revolution.
The programme will play in a loop for the duration of the festival at Malmö City Library from 17 Sept & online from 21 Sept.
