During the weekend, when Anna and Johan visited us in Copenhagen, we went to
CPH DOX (Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival) to see "Återträffen" / The Reunion, by Anna Odell. In the film, Anna attends a reunion with her former classmate. They went to school together for 9 years, and some classmates arrange a reunion 20 years after. In reality, Anna wasn't even invited to the reunion party, but here she presents what COULD have happened IF she had been invited and attented. At least what others could think would happen, since they didn't invite her. They had been very mean to her during their time together in school. In reality, she also contacts them during the time she works with this film. Some of them meet her, watch the movie, and discuss the experiences from that time. Some of them refuses to have anything to do with this film production. All persons in the film are actors, but the meetings have taken place in reality.
After the movie, Anna Odell herself was present at the cinema to answer questions from us who saw the film. It was interesting to here about things that happened "behind the scenes". How everything started, how the work with the film was, contact with her classmates, reactions etc.
SEE IT!!!
