A front-line Swedish nurse is getting some Covid downtime with a week of private screenings of the Gothenburg film festival, in a former lighthouse off the country’s west coast.
More than 12,000 candidates from 45 countries applied to watch the festival’s films in almost near isolation on an island 400km from Stockholm.
The prize is a week viewing as many of the festival’s 70 premieres as they like in a hotel in the former Pater Noster Lighthouse. But they will be in isolation and will have no access to their own computer or laptop.
