Naturens Hämnd
(Nature's Revenge)

Documentary - 1983 - 76min - English Subtitles
 
http://imdb.com/title/tt0085996/

PLOT DESCRIPTION
This gripping documentary on the probable consequences of pollution and toxic waste in Swedish farmlands is sure to give pause to any viewer. Director Stefan Jarl traveled around the countryside in Sweden filming the agonizing demise of birds and insects as they are caught in the dumping of chemical waste, and he talked to farm families whose members are suffering from neurological and other diseases (some fatal). The farming families are certain the chemicals and pesticides they use on the farm are responsible for their health problems -- and although Jarl does not interview industry representatives for their response or negation, it is difficult to argue with the families' logic. At times Jarl resorts to overdramatizing the differences between healthy and dying animals, or the parallels between the problem of pollution and other problems in the world, yet that does not detract from the valid points he makes in his observation of the farmers and their health problems. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Filmens handling:	
En film om sambandet mellan natur och människa, om den manipulativa naturuppfattningen som tar sig uttryck i människans tro att hon är naturens herre. Stefan Jarl och fotografen Per Källberg gav sig ut på en resa genom Sverige och fann att vårt land i skydd av myten om det färdigbyggda välfärdslandet förvandlats till ett "kemisamhälle", ett förgiftat land med en folklig oro för vad människan håller på att ställa till med.

Tiden har inget namn
- bidrag till den antropologiska forskningen
(Time Has No Name - a Contribution to Research in Anthropology)


Documentary - 1989 - 62min - English Subtitles / Svensk Text
 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098475/

PLOT DESCRIPTION
This odd, artistic melange of images is classified as a documentary, but given the nature of the film, it would better be described as an ecological meditation on the joys of rural life. In the story (richly embroidered with quotes from poems), an elderly rural couple goes about their actual daily chores, such as feeding their livestock, milking the cows, etc., to the accompaniment of a recitation of man-made environmental disasters on the radio. Occasionally, the old man says something misanthropic. Despite the rather shrill polemic intent of this "documentary," it was reportedly filmed in an extremely appealing and poetic manner by director Stefan Jarl who has won awards outside his native Sweden for similar "documentaries," all of them rarely seen outside of film festivals. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Vi får i filmen följa småbrukarparet Teodor och Asta Svensson i Valleberga på slätten strax öster om Ystad genom årstidernas växlingar. Det finns nästan ingen dialog i filmen, endast två korta avsnitt där Teodor svarar på frågor från Stefan Jarl (ur bild). Det finns ingen speakertext, inga kommentarer. Bilderna får tala för sig själva.
