Feb 24 Fredrik Wikingsson and Filip Hammar interview (The Last Journey)

We welcome filmmakers, journalists, TV hosts and authors Fredrik Wikingsson and Filip Hammar to discuss their narrative feature and Sweden’s highest grossing documentary, The Last Journey. The film is an emotional and hilarious story with a life-affirming message that explores a loving son’s attempts to coax his aging father into re-engaging with life by embarking on a joyous, heartfelt road trip through the South of France. In our chat, Hammar and Wikingsson touch on the catharsis of their film, the power of nostalgia and family holidays, lessons about kindness and, as filmmakers, how they embrace obstacles.
