The Book of the Octopus
"Bläckfiskens bok" is made up of three short films ("Första resan", "Drömresan" and "Sista resan"). While making these movies, Nilsson tried to put himself in an artificial depression in order to see the world as an angry and sad man. "My mind functions like a spider's web: all the images, all the ideas, all the sentences, all the idiocies stick. Thus am I a prisoner."

Antonio - När rättvisan blir orättvis (2025)
0 /10
In the documentary, we dive deep into the eight-year-old rape case against Antonio, son of the artist Anna Book. Through exclusive interviews and never-before-heard testimony, we reveal how our justice system can fail and lead to convictions in strange and diffuse circumstances. This film is not about determining Antonio's guilt or innocence, but about examining how the legal process was handled. I highlight flaws in the legal system, where crucial evidence and testimony was ignored, and how this affected everyone involved. I have had access to people close to the case such as witnesses, friends, family and Antonio himself, who shared his experiences after the verdict - from mental stress to addiction problems. We also hear from family members and others concerned who give their view of the events.
