SUMMARY:The Last Journey Film - An Appalachian Summer Festival
DESCRIPTION:In Swedish with English subtitles\nSweden / Not rated / Directed by Felip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson / 2024 / Documentary / 95 minutes \nSelected as Sweden’s entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards. When French teacher Lars Hammar retires\, he envisions a delightful “third age” with travel\, wine\, and experiences together with his wife\, Tiina. However\, instead of indulging in life’s pleasures\, Lars becomes increasingly passive and lacking in willpower\, to the great frustration and despair of both Tiina and their son\, Filip. That’s when Filip gets an idea: to take his frail old father to his beloved France and let him revisit the places he has loved most in life. By retracing the same road trip the family used to take when Filip was a child and secretly orchestrating some of life’s most delightful moments\, he hopes to reignite Lars’ zest for life. With the help of Filip’s best friend Fredrik\, some hefty doses of optimism and creativity\, and an old orange Renault 4\, the adventure can begin. \nStay for a brief post-show talkback with film series curator Dale Pollock\, as he discusses the movie in deeper context. \nWebsite
