Today we had the luxury of spending the day with film director Hou Hsiao-Hsien and his lovely wife. After a different dinner at the entrance cafeteria of ICA Maxi i Mölndal we continued to Kungälv where we looked at some old houses and a castle - Tried to go many places but couldn’t reach people. We decided to go to my home instead and just relax. (and of course I told everything and nothing about my cool equipment! :D
First picture where I was happy to see my self inside his eyes. :D (see crop below first picture) - I should of course have saved the blow out but well..
Interviewed by some newspaper. Linn translated when needed.
Outside theater after yesterdays screening of “the flight of the red ballon”
At my home with my Mom and Dad. We had a great time together and lots of time to talk. Here eating supper with home made bread, cheese and jam. Cool stuff. :D (ISO1600)
Herregud, you gut the jackpot there!!! Envy!!!!!
Well,I had a nice time at dinner with them as well, but no pictures, tried to get them some privacy -;P But hey, you can definitively be proud of this experiences, what the Festival can do!!!
See ya.

hehe - actually I tried to give him some privacy when we spent the day. Not very easy, especially when you have such a relaxed person - and famous as him.
So you went to the dinner? We will go out tonight - maybe you wanna join?
PS. Cornelia is another photographer that I met at the film festival.
Excellent photos Carl,
I’m sure they appreciated a nice home cooked meal with some real people - very cool indeed!
Well, in his eyes you are a white shirted guy holding a big black camera in front of the face :D
Interesting people you meet…
what a surprise! I’ve been to the filmfest in stockholm this year but never had a chance to meet a director like him. I like his movies a lot, which have a unique feeling and quality of chinese.
Hi Tao! :) He’s great and I’m very happy I had a chance to spend some time with him. He’s really an interesting guy and I find myself grow slightly after. :)
