På Hvitfeldtska bodde vi

Fifteen rolls of black-and-white film hidden in a pot frame an emotional documentary about Hvitfeldtska and the events that changed Göteborg forever.

In 2001, Nils Petter Löfstedt traveled to Göteborg. It was the EU summit, he was going to sleep at Hvitfeldtska and had his camera with him – to work on realizing his dream of becoming a photographer. It didn’t turn out the way he had planned. Police cordoned off the school, sent in mounted police, and arrested 459 people, without anything to charge them for. After the excessive violence, the events in the city escalated into what would become known as the Göteborg Riots. Twenty years later, Löfstedt (Heaven’s Dark Room) seeks out the people in his – now found and developed – atmospheric photos (yes, he became a photographer) and talks about what happened and what was lost forever. It is emotional, it makes the heart beat hard in your chest, and the anger and the will to fight awaken in your body.
