Filmklubben Sandgatan 8 för att se och diskutera film hos Dominikanerna på Sandgatan 8 i Lund. Vi ser filmer som kan ge underlag för reflektion, filmer som är gjorda med engagemang. Det vi söker är inte film med “budskap” eller ren underhållning, men film som närmar sig världen med nyfikenhet och öppen blick.
Bra film kan fördjupa perpektiven. Där finns det som inte går att förklara, människans och världens mysterium, alla lager av verklighet. En sanning, gömd i den vanliga världen, kan framträda in te minst i de diskussioner som följer på varje film. Under några år har vi sett film bland annat av Andrei Tarkovsky, Robert Bresson, Hirokazo Kore-eda, Ingmar Bergman, Erik Rohmer, Bo Widerberg, Debra Granik, Kelly Reickhardt och andra. Vi blandar “svårare” och “enklare” filmer, svenskt och annat - alltid med engelsk undertext.
Höst och vår har vi under en följd av år anordnat FilmDagar med ett valt tema, ett bra tillfälle att se flera filmer av en regissör och gå in och undersöka hans värld.
Programansvariga för Filmklubben 2025-26 är Magnus Ingvarsson, Viggo Johnsson, Daniel Markus, Daniel Lange, Mina Nesic och Björn Engdahl, dominikanbroder.
Alltid introduktion före och samtal efter filmen, vanligtvis på engelska/ Always introduction before the film and discussion afterwards

Film Week September 25th-28th
Taxi Tehran to Tuscany - Ride with Kiarostami
Comparing his films to poems rather than novels, he has created admiration as well as frustration amongst his audience with works where the understanding of the narrative can seem to shift with every viewing. Kiarostami’s most recurring motif is of two people talking in a car. It is a relatable scene to many of us. With Kiarostami however, a certain strangeness becomes apparent - we don’t see the road or the outside landscape, becoming aware that we are only entreated to part of the image and in extension only part of the characters’ lives.
Abbas Kiarostami edited his Palme d’Or-winning A Taste of Cherry only at night—the sole time state-owned film equipment was made available to him. One of the few Iranian filmmakers who remained after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Kiarostami has stated “When you take a tree that is rooted in the ground and transfer it from one place to another, the tree will no longer bear fruit. […] I think if I had left my country I would be the same as the tree.” Kiarostami began filmmaking in Iran in the late ’1960s. Long overlooked abroad, he gained recognition around 1990, his international breakthrough paving the way for Iranian cinema to reach a global audience.
Curiosity is enhanced further as the films often center on bizarre choices such as that of a man posing as a famous director, another seeking strangers’ help without explaining what act he wants them to perform. Are these puzzles to be solved or mysteries to contemplate? This fall you too can get along for the ride across both Tehran and Tuscany. Viggo Johnsson, Filmklubben

19.15 MARTIN SCORSESE - WISDOM BEYOND THE WISE
Lecture by Astrid Söderbergh Widding, Professor of Cinema Studies, Stockholm
followed by
THE AGE OF INNOCENCE
USA 1993, 2h 19 min, starring Daniel Day Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Winona Ryder
New York’s high society and Newland Archer's heart are both struck with the force of lightning when it turns out that the scandalous Madame Olenska has returned to the US.
Martin Scorsese - Wisdom beyond the wise guy
When Martin Scorsese studied at NYU, Hollywood's golden age was over and American filmmaking was seen to be in decline. Inspired by new European cinema, Scorsese took part in reinventing Hollywood, receiving big budgets, major actors, and wide audiences without compromising his artistic integrity.
Scorsese grew up in New York’s “Little Italy,” a segregated and crime-dominated neighborhood. With his asthma and interest in altar service rather than street brawls, he however never ended up with the gangster trajectory of Goodfellas’ Henry Hill or other wise guy protagonists. His film making drills into community acceptance and rejection, finding equal fascination with high society and the criminal underworld. The conventions of Gilded Age aristocrats in The Age of Innocence can be as brutal as those in mafia films like Casino.
While imminently watchable with snappy dialogue, engaging intrigue, and sometimes brutal violence, Scorsese’s films are rarely superficial. Initially fascinated by the spectacle of the Catholic mass and aspiring to become a priest, he still expresses his reach towards the transcendent, wrestling with questions of faith, alienation, and the historical roots of American society."

18.15 DINNER Please bring something to share for a pleasant time together
19.30 THAT OBSCURE OBJECT OF DESIRE Spain 1977, 1h43min, starring Fernando Rey, Carole Bouquet, Angela Molina
A relationship tale with twists as surprising as Buñuel’s choice of having two actresses interchangeably playing the same role with large age gaps, left wing terrorism and psychoanalysis, that this is a film from 1977 is however hardly surprising.
Surreal = SuperReal
The world risen out of the trenches of the First World War needed new expressions, hence the introduction of Surrealism in the arts. The same year René Magritte painted his famous This is Not a Pipe, a Spanish filmmaker made his directorial debut with The Andalusian Dog (1929). He then collaborated with Salvador Dalí, but soon stood on his own feet and would become the supreme master of cinematic Surrealism: Luis Buñuel. His work would demask the bourgeoisie, reveal hidden sexual desires where they were not expected, and thus stir up caustic reactions, not least in the Catholic establishment where he was fully scandalized. But watch his films not merely as blunt satire. They do carry dense, positive meaning, which we may need to work out together (like in group therapy). He was truly a social artist. Relationships between words, images and messages may be skewed, like our feelings, fantasies and beliefs. Paradoxes are only paradoxical in the wrong logic. Buñuel said: “Thank God, I’m an atheist.” He was in fact a very moral artist, whose passionate aim was the freedom of man. The quote continues: “We must seek God within man himself.” Magnus Ingvarsson, Lund

When I´m weak, I am strong -three films by John Cassavetes
John Cassavetes honours the fool
in life », says John Cassavetes in an interview.
The actors are invited to by himself find the charactor they will play. Taking
follows taking, and then another taking. With the loving patience of Cassavetes,
present and alive, it suddenly fits. A spontanous action is born. HIs directing a
film is like a non-directing presence. « Planning », he says, « is the most
destructive thing ».
Astonishling, Cassavetes always has a detailed script. Yet the moments seems
captured accidentally.
Love is his center- and the failure to love. We follow a stream where life flows.All
idealistic ideas are stripped off. The characters are persons with dignity and
desire for love, of flesh and blood,. There is weakness and letting go, to the limit
of insanity. The human person truely becomes human. « When I ́m weak, I am
strong », as Saint Paul says.
No obsession of security. A perspective : What about accepting the odd, the
different, the weak ? Could love ever grow except in the human weakness ?
Gena Rowland, his wife, is his main actress and both their both mothers participate. The
actor ́s becomes part of the band, a big family gathered.
John Cassavetes, born 1929, was of Greek descendance, and active in the
50ies to the 80ies . He is one of the first directors gaining economical (and thus
cultural) independence from Hollywood. The societal background is the demand
for a freer expression in USA of the time. Still today his films call us to stay free from
ideologies, control and conventions. Cassavetes was first an actor and played in
many films during his life.
The three films screen on the FilmWeek shows a variety of his work, a comedy,
a drama, a film noir. No fear, just love.

Films gathered under the theme of MOTHER
Where is Isaac’s mother, when God urges his father Abraham to sacrifice him?
Why did she leave her son? Why did God leave her out? Or didn’t he?
Where were your mother when you…? Where is my mother?
Is she a person outside me? No, like no other person she is inside me!
And from that integration I become my mother.
My beginnings: within her and part of her. In her arms the first visavi,
the You and Me taking form. But the imprint of her presence stays in
me, and remains until death. I’m a plant from her garden in need of
her caring love to grow and florish. The mother gives herself, all
her body, to all your body.
My loveliness, my love, where does it come from?
Is it implanted in me by the divine force… in a seed… ?
Was my love brought to me in my childhood, when I cuddled in my mother’s arms,
when she comforted me? Love implanted, inherited, nurtured
– these are the fibers I am made of.
My mother will prevail and fail. When she’s there, she can suffocate me.
When she’s not there, I can miss her. Her anguish can become my anguish,
her will crush my will. She is a trunk of the tree I belong to.
The burdens of motherhood, especially in modern times,
when women shall be everything: successful at work, a sexy mistress, a good friend…
Can’t we let her be? Is there no grace?
The heading “Mother” can seem alien to the films choosen for this Springtime.
In Easy Rider the tough guys have left their mothers behind,
like so many did in the 68 generation – but is she not there, anyhow?
In Love Story, a film from the same time, the mother does not seem
to have any relevance to the young loving couple. Simply out of date.
But where do they come from, and where are they heading?
In A Tale of Winter, a present mother, listening to her grown-up child.
