Scenes of people in motion. Some are working, others spend their leisure time. The sound of airplanes and subways reminds us of the city behind the piece of created nature. A short documentary with scenes from the parks of Stockholm taking place during one year.

Lucia Pagano (b. 1984) is a filmmaker and artist educated at the Film School in Lodz, and at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Her films focus on details in everyday life, often by observing seemingly meaningless fragments of reality, sometimes to absurdity. Her films have been shown at festivals around the world, like Sao Paolo, San Francisco, Kiev, and Warsaw and has been awarded or been honorary mentioned at film festivals in LA, Oberhausen, Stockholm, and at Nordic Panorama. Vanja Sandell Billström (f. 1983) is a filmmaker and artist educated at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. She works both with documentary, staged situations and video installations. The films often revolve around everyday situations, and with characters that seemingly spontaneously reflect on everyday conditions or the situation that the film itself requires. Sandell Billström has earlier been nominated for the Guldbagge award, Best Swedish Short and exhibited at Göteborg Konsthall, Supermarket Art Fair, Box Gallery and Färgfabriken. ”Park” is their first film that they have directed together and it was nominated for Best Swedish Short at the Göteborg Film Festival, the Tempo Short Award, 1KM Film and won the Tempo Sound Award 2020.
