09/23/2011 This short-film was commissioned by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare of Sweden, entitled Something Happened. Made in 1987, the short was meant to be played at schools all over Sweden as an educational film about AIDS, but was canceled when it was three-fourths complete because of its overly dark nature and controversial use of sources. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9n03kK-ShY See more 03/23/2010 Funded by the Swedish Board of Health to use in schools for AIDS education, this is one of the darkest, most bizarre things I've ever seen. The juxtaposition between narrative and image is hauntingly bleak and disturbing, and the use of black comedy (an elderly woman demonstrating how to put on a condom to a class of young girls, a man trying to get intimate with a disinterested woman on a ping-pong table) is downright unsettling. There are too many fucked-up moments in this short film to list. See more Read all reviews
