Background:
Since my upper secondary degree in Social Science and
Drama, I’ve balanced on the sometimes very thin
line between artistic and scientific forms of representation.
I have two years theatre education and I have worked
as an actor/director in Sweden, Guatemala and Brazil,
as well as a DV-filmmaker in the UK.
In 1997 I graduated in Social Anthropology at the University
of Stockholm, Sweden. I feel comfortable with the qualitative
method of anthropologists; the participant observation
– to live in another cultural context during a
extended period of time, in order to gain a more profound
under-standing of what is known as "the native's
point of view".
I wanted to mediate an understanding of different ways
of living to a wider audience than the academic, why
I attended a film education for anthropologists in Manchester,
UK: ‘ MA in Visual Anthropology’. In December
2001 I completed my first ethnographic film: ‘Long
Time No See’ about orphans I had been working
with in Guatemala.
Since 2002 I have been working as a lecturer in Visual
Anthropology at various universities, as well as an
actor and DV-filmmaker in different productions.
In 2003 I started the company faktafiktion.se,
in order to put my diverse experiences of ethnography,
film and drama under the same roof.
Since Autumn 2004 I’m doing a practice-based
PhD on the film genre of Ethnofictions, at the Department
of Drama, University of Manchester, UK. The Research
will result I one doctoral thesis and two films in 2007.
