I dunno if the game is so cool but I really like the controls.

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it)

More Star Wars stuff... this is really funny.

“Star wars and other galactic funk”

In the magazine People Sthlm #5 2009 there are four well-written pages on Gatekeeper, the huge fan-production based at Subtopia. Click here and start reading on page 39.

One of the readers told me about the album “Star wars and other galactic funk” by Meco. It's a 1977 discoversion of John Williams Star wars-soundtrack.



In the article there is a fair amount of critisism towards The Swedish Film Institute. That kind of critique, aimed at all governmentally funded systems that surround film in Sweden is quite common among fans of SFX and Sci-Fi in Sweden since the filminstitute rarely gives them money, the film schools don't take their applications seriously and established filmmakers don't use special effects. This gives a good insight into what they believe that Star Wars would have been like if it was a swedish production finnanced by SFI... (only in Swedish, sorry)

Spaceinvation of Skansen

Every year the Swedish Clowns Without Borders do their big event and fundraiser Clownnäsans Dag (Red Nose Day). This year the event was hosted by Skansen, the huge outdoor museum in Stockholm established to create and manifest our Swedish national identity... When Subtopia was invited to join forces with the clowns we decided to bring some of our new friends...

Production company ver 2.0

TurnHere is a film production company with a businessmodel for the new age. Film makers apply to work with them online to get tasks online and produce film that is distributed online. Through this they have become really huge. Basically what they do is to gather gigs and outsource them - to free lance film makers.



A similar concept for design is logo tournament but their concept is based around a competition. Where companies submit tasks with a fixed sum that will be won by the best suggestion. The designers then submit logos, the companies vote for their favourites and in the end everybody is happy. Not least the owners of logotournament who get percentage of all the price money submitted through the site. F***in brilliant.

TEH meeting #67 - Stanica, Slovakia

At the begining of may me, Cattis and Ella went to Slovakia to represent Subtopia at the 67th meeting of Trans Europe Halles - a network consisting of 50 independent culture centres spread out in Europe. It was my third meeting and really great to meet everybody again.

The venue was crazy... as Stanica (the centre were the meeting was held) had no venue that could take all the participants Marek and his crew had built a new meeting hall built entirely from beer crates and hay. Tootally crazy... (click here for more pics of the construction..)

Planet B-boy

We have just closed a deal with Tempo Documentary Film Festival to do film screenings for schools at Subtopia. Together with them we will screen "Planet B-Boy".

Today Camilo, the Subtopia in-house B-Boy showed me the trailer for "The Freshest Kids". Seems really cool too. Maybe we should screen it too...

Release: Star Trek & Star Wreck

Star Wreck, the funny finish fan-made Star Trek tribute was released on DVD yesterday along with their new uk website.



...this is of course in sync with the release of the new official Star Trek film that is due Thursday.



I watch the slow development of the gigantic Holywood filmindustry. They seem to slowly develop their marketing strategies to a world where the border between fans, users and producers are being blured.

Rockers (1978)

I'm right now planing a number of screenings in our movie theatre.

I'm thinking to present "Rockers" from 1978.



Ideas for more flicks for a theme are welcome...
