Löftet by Paula Gustafsson
The professional jury praised the subdued, observing style of the documentary, where the viewer sits close to the main characters and feels their intense emotions without being embarrassed or voyeuristic. This short documentary follows a lesbian couple who is torn apart by age and disease, but whose love is so strong that being together is the only thing that matters. This is a small masterpiece that crawls under your skin, that makes you speechless.
The jury also awarded the Best Lesbian Short Prize to Löftet by Paula Gustafsson for being the best lesbian short film in competition. Paula was educated at National School of Dramatic Arts in Stockholm (Sweden) and specialized in documentary. While making a documentary about the life and work of Maj-Briht Bergström-Walan, a well-known Swedish champion of female sexuality, it suddenly went downhill with the health of her wife Helle. With Löftet Paula Gustafsson shows Maj-Briht's final battle to spend her last years together with Helle.
