POTATO, 14min., Sweden
Directed by Birgitta Liljedahl
When Mother 1 (46) struggles with a tired body, a failed bun-baking project and hopeless over-aged children, Lisa (22) and Dennis (64), conflicts soon escalate beyond what’s accepted by The State of Sweden. The doorbell rings. And The Inspector enters, providing the States quality solution: a shining, new Mother 2 (27). A Mother that fulfills all criteria, not only for the children and the state, but that might even interest a most critical, new Father. Mother 1 fights for her life against the Inspector, the State and Mother 2’s tetra-organic cabbage from Peru, but soon finds herself deported to Svalbard, by the police. When Mother 1 strikes back, the children will meet a force they’ve never witnessed before. POTATO is an absurd, socially critical comedy that takes place in a future more close than we would like..

Get to know the filmmaker:

We are building a society where perfection is demanded. Always. It’s insane. And boring. And just bad business. The human as a species, is magic, where development comes from imperfection, failures and mistakes.

Get to know the filmmaker:

This is my first short film, so it was very important to me to be able to work on a project that allowed me to work with the actors as much as possible. I’ve always been a fan of dialogue-heavy, character-driven films, so when I started writing this script it seemed like the perfect opportunity to collaborate closely with my actors, working on the intention of each line the way one would with a play.

About the story itself, one of the things that interested me the most was this idea of “what you want” versus “what’s expected you”. The inevitable conflict of it. Sometimes you do everything you’re supposed to do in life and it still doesn’t turn out right, so you have to decide to prioritize pleasing other people or pleasing yourself, knowing that it’s often a lose-lose situation. We all play different roles in life and it’s difficult to find a more appearance-based society than 19th century England. I thought that if I could frame this dilemma with a love story– two people that found “an intermission” from their respective roles when they were with each other— that maybe that could be interesting.

Get to know the filmmaker:

Growing up, I have always loved comic book movies, and they’re the reason I decided to become a filmmaker. This was my love letter to the genre, my way of taking all these films and stories I grew up with, and telling my perspective of them.

Get to know the filmmaker:

I was motivated to make this film after learning more about Buster Keaton’s childhood and being fascinated by the fact that he had an entire career in vaudeville – and was a STAR – before he ever entered the movie industry. My co-producer, Ron Pesch, was instrumental in motivating me to make this film as well as actually making it.
