LevelK has acquired international sales rights to Lisa Aschan’s new film “Call Mom!”, a sequel to her well-received feature debut, “She Monkeys.”
Produced by Anna-Maria Kantarius (“Amateurs”) at Garagefilm Intl., “Call Mom!” follows Niki, a 35-year-old who lives like she’s 25 and is forced to come to grips with all of her relationships and past choices in life.
Aschan said “Call Mom!” could be thought of as a “standalone sequel” to “She Monkeys” (pictured), a coming-of-age film which won the best film award at Tribeca, received an Honorable Mention at Berlin and took home the Guldbagge award for best film.
“The choice of genre was obvious to me: A movie about familial relationships has to be a comedy. I’m drawn to humor because I think it’s very much connected to pain,” Aschan said. “I’m drawn to people who use humor as a survival mechanism.”

Anna Odell’s drama wins best film at the Guldbagge Awards; Per Fly’sWaltz for Monica (Monica Z) wins four.
Anna Odell’s feature debut The Reunion (Återträffen) received two top prizes at the 50th Guldbagge Awards in Sweden last night. The depiction of a class reunion after 20 years won Best Film and Best Screenplay.
Odell, who wrote the screenplay, said on stage: “I usually say things how they are, but I’m really bewildered. Long live art, life and liberty! And culture and everything.”
It marks the third consecutive year that a debut female filmmaker collected the Best Film statuette after Lisa Aschan’s She Monkeys (Apflickorna) and Gabriela Pichler’s East Sleep Die (Äta sova dö).
Produced by Mathilde Dedye, for French Quarter Film, The Reunion previously picked up the Fipresci prize for Best First Feature in Venice last August and is set to screen at the Rotterdam Film Festival (Jan 22 - Feb 2).

★★★★☆ To caption Lisa Aschan's debut feature She Monkeys (Apflickorna, 2011) as a tale of burgeoning sapphic desire amidst the intense world of equestrian vaulting is by no means erroneous. Originally produced as part of the Swedish Film Institute's 'Rookie Project', it went on to receive high praise on the festival circuit. After reaching British cinemas last year, She Monkeys now arrives on DVD courtesy of Peccadillo Pictures. A complex examination of femininity, sexuality and control, it could hastily be likened to Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan (2010), but replaces that film's delirious bravura with a restrained but fierce intensity.

I was struggling to figure out the literal and/or metaphoric reason for the tumbleweeds -- yes, actual tumbleweeds -- that roll lazily more than once through She Monkeys (in the original Swedish, Apflickorna). Are they reflections -- if strained and preposterous ones -- of the emotional desolation of its characters? And then I learned that writer (with Josefine Adolfsson) and director Lisa Aschan sees this as a modern Western. I don’t see a Western here -- the tumbleweeds still seem ridiculous -- and I’m still struggling to find reasons to do more than merely coolly appreciate, from an emotional distance, the disagreeably detached dissection of young girls’ sexuality on offer. Teen Emma (Mathilda Paradeiser) and her new acquaintance Cassandra (Linda Molin), members of an equestrian gymnastics team, are engaging an ugly push-and-pull of love and hate, dominance and submission, attraction and revulsion. Meanwhile, Emma’s little sister,...

★★★★★ Swedish director Lisa Aschan's debut feature She Monkeys (Apflickorna, 2011) is an immensely powerful and precise examination of adolescent female sexuality through the relationship between two young girls, Emma (Mathilda Paradieser) and Cassandra (Linda Molin), who share a passion for equestrian show jumping. When Emma joins the team, Cassandra take her under her wing - that is, until a catastrophic power struggle emerges between the two.

She Monkeys / Apflickorna Trailer. Lisa Aschan‘s She Monkeys / Apflickorna (2011) movie stars Mathilda Paradeiser, Linda Molin, Isabella Lindquist, Sergej Merkusjev, and Adam Lundgren. She Monkeys / Apflickorna‘s plot synopsis: “When Emma meets Cassandra, they initiate a relationship filled with physical and psychological challenges. Emma does whatever it takes to master the rules of the game. Lines are crossed and the stakes get higher and higher. Despite this, Emma can’t resist the intoxicating feeling of total control.”
The fact that both of the girls are in competition with each other yet one girl seems to hate and like the other girl at the same time will make for a cool dynamic on screen.
I found the tone of the film to be far closer to Celine Schiamma’s Water Lilies than that of Moodysson’s Fukcing Amal (Show Me Love). It’s tightly wound 80 minutes is centered around the budding...

I was greatly impressed by Lisa Aschan's She Monkeys (Apflickorna) at this year's Tribeca. Evidently so was the jury as it won for best narrative feature at the festival. While statements like "the best Swedish debut since Lukas Moodysson" have been floating around, I found the tone of the film to be far closer to Celine Schiamma's Water Lilies than that of Moodysson's Fukcing Amal (Show Me Love). It's tightly wound 80 minutes is centered around the budding friendship and rivalry of two Swedish teens on an equestrian acrobatics team. It is a very cold, calculating study on sexuality and power with a dark, insidious sense of humor, a film both classical and refreshing in aesthetic. With a release in France on August 3rd, and...

Lisa Aschan's new sex-fueled teenage thriller She Monkeys just shocked and awed audiences at Karlovy Vary 2011. That's some kind of Czech film festival, in case you were American.
She Monkeys, (Aka Voltiges, Aka Apflickorna, depending on whether you speak English, French, or Swedish) is about control, sex, and creatures. Creatures like horses. When Emma meets Cassandra, they initiate a relationship filled with physical and psychological challenges. Emma does whatever it takes to master the rules of the game. Lines are crossed and the stakes get higher and higher. Despite this, Emma can’t resist the intoxicating feeling of total control.
A film that has been described as both chilling and sexy by various reviewers, Aschan herself calls it "a modern western." She Monkeys looks amazing. Here's a clip:

When you describe a film as "one of the most intense and complex feature debuts to come from Sweden since Lukas Moodysson's Show Me Love," you're bound to get my attention. But it's not as if Lisa Aschan's feature film debut She Monkeys (Apflickorna) is just now appearing on the festival circuit. Lauded at Tribeca with the best narrative feature prize as well as a special mention at Berlin, some are calling Aschan's drama one of the best films of the year.
Focusing on the friendship of two girls on an equestrian gymnastic team, Aschan's film plays with ideas of friendship and rivalry between two teen girls and apparently breaks taboos with its depiction of developing sexuality. The Tribeca jury commented that it "speaks of sex, adolescence, power, and ambition." Basically, this isn't your typical teenage drama.

You can tell how massive and diverse a festival like Tribeca is by the fact that I saw 10 features and a whole bunch of shorts, yet only one film I saw won an award and none received special mention. I want to congratulate Rider & Shiloh Strong for winning best online short for their amazing film, The Dungeon Master. I have been pushing it as my favorite short of the festival and apparently many people agreed with me. Below is the list of all the winners & special mentions. Congratulations to all of them and congrats to everyone who just played at the festival, which is a huge honor by itself.
