SCANDAL AT UPPSALA FILMFESTVAL

Couple of films, that had been chosen to participate in the international competition at 37.Uppsala film festival, where never screened for the Jury. It was just a coincident that two members of the jury discovered this the last day of the festival. By that time had the other three members of the Jury departed Uppsala so the films involved were disqualified with out the knowledge of the people behind those films. Among those films are The Last Farm, Circus by Thomas Pors from Denmark and Flying by Hirofumi Nagaike from Japan and some other films as well.

The Festival even tried to cover up this scandal but failed.

This has been confirmed by the Festival programmer Christoffer Olofsson.
