Äntligen är SAQMI Play tillbaka med ännu en episod om queer svensk filmhistoria. Denna gång får ni möta regissörerna Nina Bergström och Sander C. Neant Falk i ett generöst samtal kring arbetet med filmen som de gjorde tillsammans. Filmen blev legendarisk och var den första lesbiska dokumentären som gick upp på svenska biografer över hela landet. De var unga eldsjälar som stred för sin film, de åkte på världsturné, vann priser och de blev arbetströtta. Följ med in i ett härligt rum av skratt och glädje kring en snart 30 år gammal film som håller än i dag. Den 3 maj 2022 bjöd SAQMI och Doc Lounge in till nypremiären av Sveriges första lesbiska dokumentärfilm - Väninnor - Berättelser från garderoben! Slutsåld föreställning på Folkteatern i Göteborg och underbar stämning med båda regissörerna på plats. Lesbiska hits serverades av Linda Gester och rummet formligen vibrerade queerhet. Efter filmvisningen följde ett samtal mellan Nina Bergström (Oslo) och Sander C. Neant Falk (Sthlm) modererat av Anna Linder, SAQMI (Gbg). Om filmen Väninnor - berättelser från Garderoben: De är fem kvinnor i åldrarna 60 till 85 år och de är lesbiska. De har levt med rädslan att vara annorlunda och med risken att förskjutas av vänner, släktingar och arbetskamrater. I åratal har de smugit med sina känslor; dubbelliv har varit deras vardag. Någon av dem har aldrig tidigare talat om sin homosexualitet ens med sina närmaste. Med stark närvaro och sprängkraft berättar de fem kvinnorna om sina liv och om sin förbjudna kärlek. Tidstypisk musik, pressklipp, arkivbilder och privata fotografier illustrerar deras berättelser i denna varmt innerliga dokumentärfilm. Väninnor hyllades av kritikerkåren när den fick sin premiär under mitten av 90-talet, men har sedan dess varit otillgänglig för publiken. Nu har filmen äntligen digitaliserats och får lov att återta den framskjutna plats i queerhistorien den så väl förtjänar. Filmen har digitaliserats med stöd av Svenska Filminstitutet. Om de medverkande (English): FRIEDA was born in Vienna in 1924, but was brought up in the Sovjet Union. As a young woman she was constantly fallling in love with other women, but when she came to Sweden after the war, she tried hard to be as women should. Frieda ended up living a married family life for more than 30 years. ”I wasn't homosexual. No, I was just an odd sort, always falling in love with girls, or women. That was all” KERSTIN was born in 1926 in Stockholm. She worked as a schoolteacher for almost 40 years, until 1981, when she changed career and was ordained priest in the Swedish Church. Almost all her life Kerstin has managed to keep her relationships with women secret from both friends and relatives. ”We belittle God when we think He forbids some people to love eachother. Love closeness and understanding is something we all need, and you shrink as a human being if you don't have someone to love. ELLEN was born in 1932 in Germany. She was brought up in a danish fosterhome during the war. Elen and her foster-sister, Ulla, fell in love with each other. Their relationship lasted for 40 years, even though Ellen had a child, got married and moved to Sweden. ”It wasn't love in my case. He didn't love me either, for that matter. What I wanted was to secure my child's future; economically.” BOEL was born in 1933 and brought up in an intellectual milieu in Stockholm. Early in life she married the man she loved. In the seventies Boel got involved with the women's movement. It was during that time she met women who lived a lesbian life. ”People are inclined to see us as cousins or sisters, instead of lovers. That is probably because women generally don't count as sexual beings, other than in relation to men. ABBE was born in 1925 in the swedish countryside and brought up in a strictly religious fosterhome. Abbe always knew she was different. Loneliness, longing and self-loathing was part of her everyday life for years, until she finally met other women who was ”like that”. ”Then they were going to have a meeting… Women like that, only. In one place! And I thought – Oh my God, how will that look like? What on earth have I gotten myself into!?” Fakta om filmen: Titel: Väninnor – berättelser från garderoben Regissör: Sander C.

This question was sent by Anders and he wrote: Hi Vidas and Ausra! I´m following the information you give with great interest. I have been playing the piano for a while but I´m not very good at it, though I really love it and listening to great music, Classic as well as Jazz and Ragtime. In the last period I have started to think much about playing the organ and I've asked the local organist to give me lessons (lessons are free in the Swedish Church) and I hope lessons will start this autumn. I bought an old Electronic organ but am extremely disappointed since the sound is outright awful. It´s not what is called a Church organ, they´re much more expensive. I will throw my Electronic organ and buy some good instrument with a really good sound. The short answer to the questions are: 1.) My Dream is to be able to play "well enough" on the organ some of my favorite music on a good pipe organ. This I wish to do in a Church where I can enjoy the fantastic and mysterious sound of the different voices of the pipes. 2.) What is stopping me is really nothing except: A.) The feeling that I have no time (I do have long working days and other commitments) B.) The feeling that my wife really doesn't enjoy listening to me repeating the difficult parts over and over again. Though she doesn't complain. C.) The lack of a good instrument. And these three things shouldn't stop me. I know and I´m working on it... Now I´ll explain what I mean by playing "well enough": It´s not at all necessary for me to dream of reaching a level of high professionalism, though I fully understand and wish to play with correctness and musicality. For me it´s better to listen to an amateur playing a simple piece very well instead of some half-professional doing a sloppy job on too complicated pieces. I think that for me it will be much more realistic to find, or even better, to be able to arrange the music so it will be simple but still beautiful and retaining the real spirit and essence of the pieces. For that I obviously will have to learn about music theory and learn to play chords and their inversions etc. Maybe not so impossible. For instance i have maybe 5-6 different versions of some piece of music ranging from the very simple to the very difficult. And it´s far from always the fastest version with most notes and difficult fingering that catches the essentials! Thank god for that. I have some rather simple pieces that are really beautiful if you perform them correct and with real spirit. My taste includes classical pieces such as "Poem" by Fibich, pieces by Grieg and Delius and some very nice pieces by Eric Satie. Some jazz pieces I wish to play are maybe not very well known but some are jazz standards. I especially point out some outstanding jazz recordings made by Fats Waller in 1927 on a Church pipe organ (Estey). There has not been any recordings of jazz organ to compare with before or after these few musical pearls, so rich in harmony and feeling. Of course I will never be able to play like Waller did, far from. But maybe be able to play some simplified and still beautiful version in a not too fast tempo. In my opinion speed is not often very important, many pieces win on being played slower but correctly giving time to listen to the music. As a rounding off I wish to say that I fully appreciate and try to apply the principles of slow playing in practice, repeating until I play without faults and learning a piece step by step. Actually I was smiling with remembrance when I read through your "Organ practice is a privilege". The reason is that I already knew about the principles since my last wife was a really good piano teacher (from St Petersburg). And she applied these rules. Before she died 6 years ago I was lucky to learn the importance of these rules, though I was never a very good pupil. And it was maybe not so easy to have the wife as a teacher (she was really serious). Best of Wishes, Anders from Sweden
