My second, feature-length documentary is finished and mixed in certified Dolby Atmos (as well as 7.1 and 5.1 surround).

What sets this project apart is the incredible voice talent of former Ingmar Bergman actors Stina Ekblad and Per Ragnar, along with the renowned opera singer Nina Stemme (several times appointed as the worlds best opera singer) and Shebly Niavarani and Tomas Laustiola, Frida Röhl et.al.

It's a documentary about the now pretty much forgotten creative genius Eugen Semitjov and his fascinating background.

The DCP and disc-releases will include English subtitles.

But I desperately need funding to secure the archival rights!

Synopsis (sketch):

Nowadays the SEMITJOV family seems to be very much forgotten, but they were very influential and great contributors to Swedish culture and journalism. The engineer/author VLADIMIR arrives in Stockholm one hundred years ago -1923- as a refugee. He comes with his two sons, his pregnant wife and his old mum. They have fled famine, revolution and contra revolution in the Soviet Union and are now without food and money…Partly through Vladimir’s unique diary we follow the family’s hard struggle to establish in Sweden. It is a success story: Vladimir gets to help the then world-famous Mauritz Stiller to light the star of Greta Garbo with a true story from the family’s time in a refugee camp in Constantinople. The hard working Vladimir is also posthumously appointed as the greatest Swedish science fictionwriter of the 20s and 30s. During world war II the family’s oldest son -VOLODJA- becomes a war correspondent for the biggest newspaper in Sweden. He then changes career to film script writing and writes the internationally most successful Swedish film ever (the origin for the internationally spread idea about ”Swedish sin”.) The youngest son -EUGEN- born 1923, writes and draws the most internationally spread Swedish adventure comics, When the Space Age starts he changes career and becomes space journalist and wins the Big Journalist Award 1972.
