Transcarpathian Regional Mental Hospital

This short film was shot at a Mental Hospital deep in the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine. In Soviet times political dissidents were imprisoned here along with the insane. While still on the grim side (but what mental hospital isn’t), the institution has come a long way in the last years, largely through the efforts of […]

Roma Settlement Film

This is one of the last two of a series of short films I shot in Transcarpathia, Ukraine in June and July of 2008 for S.A.R.A. This Roma, or Gypsy settlement is on the outskirts of the city of Bergaszas. The music was recorded in a Roma church and the voice over is by S.A.R.A.’s […]

The Civil War

WOOSTER–Though it is, at times, difficult to lead a peripatetic lifestyle, and I miss a certain Swede, it is also good to move and change and to be back in the United States. I have missed my family and friends and in more intangible ways I have missed America. It isn’t the small things, those […]

This is Station S, going off-line.

Storm at Sunset Over Transcarpathia

LUND–It is difficult to explain how small one feels in Ukraine. On a sunny day one can see huge storms as they move towards you, huge banks of clouds and lightening flashes darkening a section of the horizon. We were out, visiting different sites to film and had to drive into this one. I took […]
