Misär, mörker, Malmö: Henrik Möller, nya digitala medier och kultfilm
Författare
Summary, in Swedish
This paper explores how the conditions of zero-budget filmmaking in Sweden have changed in the context of new digital media and participatory culture, by using the Malmö-based filmmaker Henrik Möller as a case study. Möller is known for his dark, absurd and humorous zero-budget cartoons and live action short films, which he has been uploading on YouTube since 2006. Some of the short films have surpassed 100 000 views on the platform, fortifying Möller as somewhat of a cult figure in Malmö, as his films mostly take place in Malmö or towns nearby. I argue that Möller is a zero-budget auteur, who uses the zero-budget as a deliberate aesthetic, and I discuss this by using concepts such as participatory media (by Jenkins, 2006), internet ugly, Bourdieus theory of distinction, theories surrounding cult cinema and finally the term dialect cinema and how it relates to Möllers depiction of Malmö.
