During his “exile” from the Swedish film industry, Roy Andersson continued his practice making many commercials and short film works. During this time, Andersson developed and honed his deadpan, humorist and labor-intensive approach to cinema. This screening presents a selection of these short works, many never before screened in the U.S.
