Silvana

Mika Gustafson/ Olivia Kastebring /Christina Tsiobanelis 2017 Sweden Doc color 95min Swedish DCP
The film follows Silvana from underground artist to icon, as she wins several major awards and forms an almost mythical relationship with Swedish pop-artist Beatrice ELI. However, after just one year in the limelight, Silvana crashes under the pressure, fed-up with the implications
of being labeled a “strong female”. She decides to start showing new sides of herself.
