How Martin de Thurah helmed a Viking voyage
Niki Lindroth von Bahr has made the poster for this year’s Göteborg Film Festival, inspired by the early AI story of chess computer Deep Blue beating world champion Garry Kasparov.

“Since AI is this year’s festival theme, I wanted to tackle that somehow … It’s a control room for a chess computer where we are celebrating a win for the machine, which might soon turn out to be a future loss for humanity.”

THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO ME
As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we are proud to present a brave film from one of our young filmmakers, Jenny Amdi Sørensen. Jenny captures the experience of OCD and anxiety, depicting its vicious cycles and fractured thinking.
In her own words: “I meant for the film to be about OCD as I felt a need to illustrate how it feels. Gradually I realized the film was about fear and emotional distress in more ways than one. Most of us haven’t learned to handle ‘negative’ feelings – afraid that if we let the feeling in, it will stay. In actuality, we create a vicious spiral by pushing feelings away.”
Thank you to everyone who helped create this film.

THE GREAT GLITCH / CHILDREN OF PARADISE (TRAILER)
Launched in 2020, mobile game Merge Mansion now has more than two million active users and 40 million downloads. In other words, it is a smash hit. So how does the Helsinki-based developer Metacore behind the game tease the next update for the game? With a fake crime campaign starring Hollywood’s leading man Pedro Pascal.
In the new campaign, Pascal plays a detective investigating secrets in the Boulton family. The campaign is directed by Martin Werner, produced by Bacon and made with Reaktor, and blends cinematic quality with subtle humor.
“This campaign has been a dream project for me. Getting the opportunity to translate the Merge Mansion game into a mockumentary short gave my production company Bacon and me the opportunity to flex all our filmic muscles,” says Martin Werner. “Being able to structure everything around a world class actor like Pedro Pascal took the concept to a higher level and although Pedro is playing a fictional character here, the legacy of his previous work felt like it combined perfectly with our take on the Merge Mansion universe. I am truly proud of what we have been able to put together, it required sheer precision and teamwork from the entire crew who all performed to the highest level from start to finish.”

MERGE MANSION / A TWISTED GAME
The campaign was shot in Lisbon and continues the mysterious tonality of the mobile title.
“Merge Mansion has created a fascinating story centered around family drama filled with mystery and secrets that has captivated fans all around the world through their entertaining and unpredictable video campaigns,” says Pedro Pascal. “Making this short film for Merge Mansion was truly a unique experience and I had so much fun working with Martin to fulfill his vision and bring the lore of Merge Mansion to life. From the first day, it was clear how much love and passion the group at Metacore has for its characters and this game and I’m happy that I got to be a part of their next big moment.”
