We are so excited to present Malin Barr as one of this years nominees for 1 KM FILM ᯓ★

Hear her pitch "Emergency Contact" during Stockholm Industry Days November 17, 10:30 - 12:00.

Bastian has broken up with Moa, but she refuses to accept that it’s over. Discovering they’re still sharing their phone locations, she starts using his location as a map to win him back. But her carefully staged “chance encounters” soon become increasingly obsessive.

See her previous film "Sauna Sickness" Monday November 16, 17:30 - 20:00 at Bio Victor Filmhuset ☆

I’ve been quietly building a world, together with an incredible team of actors, producers, artists and storytellers🎙️
After months of writing, recording, creating and bringing this world to life, production on CITY OF AMBIENT is almost wrapped, and I’m so excited for what comes next!

To every single person who has lent their voice, talent, time and creativity to this: thank you. This show exists because of all of you🖤

CITY OF AMBIENT is an original dystopian audio thriller coming in 2027, and we’ve only just started letting you into the world we’ve been creating ✨

Follow @cityofambient to come along for the ride. The transmissions have begun 📡

And to my City of Ambient family, thank you for building this world with me.
