Weekend should be a day of rest. I'll need to remember that... On Saturday, we had a busy day spending at Mitt Kök, where I gorged myself silly with free 'tasterr' food at the food festival... and not to mention the yummy fresh oysters we bought near the festival =)
Then I had to rushed back into the city and managed to get into the cinema to watch 'Sister'' which I knew was a french film. While managing to score a free seat (there were people having to sit on the stairs as it was fully booked), I then realised the film is in French and the subtitle is in Swedish. Neither language I was good at. Fortunately, I have dabbled in both languages.. =P or should I say, fortunately, the movie does not need much conversation for the audience to get an idea what is going on.
What a beautiful story about a 12 year old boy who supported himself and his 'sister' by stealing from tourists at the ski resort - from ski jackets, to skis... It's quite touching seeing how responsible he is compared to his older 'sister' who has absolutely no direction in life and watching and guessing the relationship between them two..

Today, I had my first experience in taking pictures of a 'red carpet' event for Amour. I had to say it was a bit disorganised as I was there 1/2 hour early to get direction from someone from the photography area. 4.30pm came and went, and then it's 5 o'clock and we started snapping away, just playing by ear =P The theatre was nearly filled up, and when I was about to leave, the head photographer and her assistant turned up.. 'to give us direction'... Thanks guys =P

| The winner.. It was over so quick, I barely had time to register a quick click... which I mucked up really badly.. Whoops =( |
 |
| This is definitely the nicest cinema theatre I have been to here in Stockholm.. It's huge |
Only a few more days left of the Film Festival.. and I'm pretty happy to say I have watched about 4 and a bit films! Hoping to watch more in the next few days!
