Göteborg Film Festival to Highlight Disobedience: ‘Civil Resistance Has Become Crucial in the Global Conversation’


Defiance will be in sharp relief at the 48th Göteborg Film Festival running Jan. 26 – Feb. 4, 2025 in the light of current world events.

The gang funds the Tamil Tigers’ resistance in Sri Lanka, complicating his mission as he faces loyalty conflicts with ex-leader Aya, henchman Puvi, and his heritage. Suutari captures their strategic planning and protests, blending these moments with serene, meditative scenes of nature, showing how they find solace and renewal in the forest. A follow-up to Kulumbegashvili’s 2021 San Sebastian Golden Shell winner “Beginning,” “April” follows obstetrician Nina who lives in a society where women’s rights are largely ignored, performing illegal abortions in her isolated rural clinic.
