Twelve years ago they made their breakthrough with the Nick Cave film “20,000 Days on Earth,” a poetic hybrid documentary that blurred the lines between fact and fiction. Now directing duo Jane Pollard and Iain Forsyth are back with a new, original portrait of an iconic artist. “Broken English” is an attempt to capture the essence of artist and actress Marianne Faithfull rather than ticking off a biographical timeline.- We wanted to create a nuanced image of an older artist looking back on his life and meeting his former self. “Broken English” focuses on her artistry and persona – and…

Gold went to Engla Nilsson, eight years younger, who jumped just as high but had fewer ribs.On February 24, 2026, Ekman became the third-highest indoor jump of all Swedish high jumpers. At a high jump gala in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia, she achieved 1.96.- I don’t even know if I did it right. But I was incredibly shocked. I didn’t expect that at all.Only Emma Green and Kajsa…
– I like being able to give the basic training the necessary time and get involved in it without feeling the stress of a championship or the start of the season coming up soon. “That’s why I’m glad I have an outdoor branch,” she continues.This weekend, however, she will have a short training break when the World Indoor Championships are decided in Sätra Friidrottshall. Vanessa Kamga is registered in the shot put and the weight throw (an indoor version of the hammer throw).While she waits for the outdoor season to begin and Vanessa Kamga to throw the discus again, she…
This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text.My partner had noticed at dinner that one of her acquaintances was in a dilemma. Her son wanted a book for Christmas for the first time in his life. The book, however, was “Staten mot Kapitalet” by the Allra violinist Alexander Ernstberger.Ernstberger had apparently become something of an icon on Tiktok.I wrote a short comment (Arbetet, 20/1) that young people can look up whatever Tiktok shenanigans they want, but that the book is unfortunately pretty boring. An “I am Zlatan”, but about a man…
Since 2020, Umeå musicians John Andersson and Viktor Asbaghi Sandström have been interpreting the Palme investigation in rock format. In songs like “Maybe it was me” and “The light at the end of Tunnelgatans Slut” they sang about the PKK, the Scandinavian Man and other stray trails that the investigation has lost over the years. Even their band name, Polisman B, references one of the suspects.- He appears on the so-called police trail. But we have to be clear that the real person has nothing to do with our band, says John Andersson.- Dramaturgically, we use a character called Policeman…

This could be a somewhat cynical interpretation of the company’s new investment in bringing the chatbot into our homes.The last decade has been characterized by increasingly extensive data collection about us as individuals. Tech companies have mapped more and more of what we do online through a complex network of tracking tools, creating vast indices of our lives and habits – often with the aim of selling us things or training…
The Nature Conservation Act is described by the EU Commission as the biggest environmental event since the introduction of the Species and Habitats Directive in Sweden in 1995.If the Environmental Protection Agency and four other expert authorities now submit their proposal, the bill will amount to just over SEK 20 billion per year by 2032.That’s more than double the amount currently spent on biodiversity. The majority of the money will serve as compensation for landowners.As DN has previously shown, the Swedish government in Brussels has actively spoken out against the law. Rural Affairs Minister Peter Kullgren (KD) led a campaign…
– It’s meaty.The week before the premiere of “Shifters” at the Riksteatern is intense. It’s John Njie’s first leading role on the Stockholm stage and the script is huge.DN meets him on his only day off this week at a pizzeria in Årsta, where he usually reads scripts. Subtle jazz sounds from the speakers.- I was approached for this project a long time ago and when I read the script in English I just felt like crap… I can’t really explain it. But it was so impressive, poetic and beautiful.In the role of Dre, he plays a man with an…
DN previously reported on the dispute between Brf Liljeholmsberget and the city of Stockholm over the calculation of the ground rent, the so-called basic fee. According to the city’s model, the rent would have been increased as early as 2022 and would have been gradually increased to a 161 percent increase compared to previous agreements, but the association appealed the decision to the Regional and Environmental Court.However, the court followed the city’s line and decided in spring 2023 that the rent would be increased from about SEK 1.6 million to SEK 4.3 million starting this year.“In the long term, this…
The Berlin Film Festival continues to storm. On Thursday, Federal Culture Minister Wolfram Weimer called festival director Tricia Tuttle to a meeting about the future of the festival, which was reported by several international media outlets. This after one of the winners of this year’s festival, the Syrian-Palestinian director Abdallah al-Khatib, held up a Palestinian flag during the awards ceremony and criticized Germany as “complicit in the Israeli genocide in Gaza.”According to information from the Bild newspaper on Wednesday, Wolfram Weimer wanted to fire the festival director. Within hours, much of the international film world came to her defense. Among…

How much you invest in 3D scanning unique museum objects, digitizing inventory lists and archival documents can determine how well Swedish cultural heritage can be preserved if we face a war or a major cyberattack. A report issued by the Council for the Protection of Cultural Heritage and published by the National Antiquities Authority highlights digital preparedness as one of three priority areas.To ensure important files cannot be destroyed, the council also wants the government to order an investigation into how a national digital safe space could be created. There you could collect and store copies from libraries and museums,…

Since there were only a few athletes living in the Olympic Village in Milan, it was easier to get to know each other.For example, in his first interview immediately after the gold medal, Jack Hughes – who scored the Olympic final in overtime as the United States became men’s Olympic champions for the first time in 46 years – said that the first person he thought of when…
From geriatric care, local care and property management to cultural work and entrepreneurial activities – for young people of middle and high school age, a few weeks of holiday work with the municipality often represents an important first line on their CV.Most municipalities in the country offer holiday jobs or paid holiday internships. The way the positions are structured differs, both in terms of the permitted application age, the types of positions available and the level of salary.When the municipalities’ application deadlines open and close vary greatly. Some municipalities such as Malmö, Vänersborg and Höganäs have opened their application portals…
This is an opinion piece in Dagens Nyheter. The author is responsible for the opinions in the article.On the same day that DN Rebecka Katz published Thor’s text on the precarious situation of unestablished humanities scholars (9/2), I and thousands of other researchers submitted applications to the Swedish Research Council’s call for project grants for the humanities and social sciences.As Katz Thor mentioned, 89 of the 1,131 applications received were approved last year. Assuming an estimated two weeks of full-time work for each application, the time spent – wasted – in the 1,042 applications that were not approved amounted to…
