ABBA Benny Andersson’s Son Ludvig Andersson Talks Taking a Chance on Berlin-Bound Levan Akin, ABBA Voyage (EXCLUSIVE)


Ludvig Andersson, son of ABBA’s Benny Andersson talks travelling far with Berlin-selected talent Levan Akin and ABBA Voyage.

Hot Swedish helmer of Georgian descent Levan Akin is due to kickstart Berlin’s Panorama Feb. 15 with his feature drama “Crossing.” Nine years earlier, he walked the Berlinale red carpet with his youth sci-fi “The Circle,” showcased at Generation. She meets Evrim, a lawyer fighting for trans rights who might be the key to find her niece.Speaking earlier to Variety, Dedye said the movie is “about finding your family, not your blood relatives, but those that accept and love you unconditionally, without prejudice, for who you are.”Sold by Paris-based Totem Films, the pic has been snagged by multiple territories ahead of Berlin including MUBI for North America, the U.K., Germany, Latin America, New Story for France, Lucky Red for Italy, and Avalon for Spain. With its complex motion capture and performance techniques from the four ABBA band members, the input from a thousand VFX experts from Industrial Light & Magic, on top of the purpose-built venue, the show was a major investment.
