Czech-Swedish director at Tempo Documentary Festival

Date: 04 March 2024 - 10 March 2024, Venue: Stockholm

The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Stockholm, together with the Czech Center Stockholm, supported director Greta Stocklassa and her film "BLIX NOT BOMBS" as part of the Tempo Festival, the largest Swedish documentary film festival.

This year, the film "BLIX NOT BOMBS" was nominated for the Czech Lion Award in the Best Documentary Film category.

Czech-Swedish director Greta Stocklassa, in her documentary “BLIX NOT BOMBS”, engages in a dialogue with former Swedish diplomat Hans Blix. She explores the question of whether diplomacy remains relevant in today’s crisis-ridden world, especially considering its failure to prevent the U.S. invasion of Iraq following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Contrasting this with her own coming-of-age experiences, Greta questions why the world has become hostile and why we struggle to live in peace. Simultaneously, she contemplates whether a better future awaits us.

“BLIX NOT BOMBS” (dir: Greta Stocklassa, Czech Republic/ Germany/ Sweden, 2023, 85 min)

It was screened at three sessions, where a Q&A session with director Greta Stocklassa and producer Mario Adamson also took place.
