Little Miss Sunshine
Director: Jonathan Dayton/Valerie Faris, USA 2006, 101 min, 35 mm, colour, GV
Actors: Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear


Six year-old Olive dreams of becoming "Little Miss Sunshine". Through chance she is invited to the competition and her entire family accompany her on the trip to California. Although the journey is marked by problems and disasters, the trip brings the family closer together when the small, chubby outsider meets her highly-styled nightmarish competitors.

Sensitive feelings and weird humour harmonise in Jonathon Dayton and Valerie Faris’ counteraction to the American dream. The directing debut, with a satirical, but deeply human perspective, was celebrated with a standing ovation at the Sundance Festival in 2005.


Additionally we will present the short film:

These Chairs (Dom där stolarna)



Director: Daniel Westlund, Music: Peter Forsman
S 2006, 3:02 min, DVD, colour, without dialogue

A 3D animation dance film in which 6 chairs dance to the beat of a drum, while undermining the laws of gravity and our idea of a chair’s "existence".
