Halvar stiehlt dem schrecklichen Sven ein Schwert, das Ylva in eine goldene Statue verwandelt. Die Wikinger machen sich auf die Reise zu einer rätselhaften Insel, um seine Mutter zu retten.

During my time at the University of Leeds, stretching back from first year all the way until now, I’ve been affected by strikes. Lectures cancelled, delayed marking, late emails, dissertation workshops missed. While this certainly has impacted my education negatively, especially as a humanities student, I still support and stand with striking staff. I stand with the striking staff members because the anger that I feel this week and beyond is a symptom of systemic unfair staff working conditions.

This month I was lucky enough to get to see the plethora of films slated for LIFF (Leeds International Film Festival)’s 2022 line-up. Both through volunteering and press, across multiple venues in Leeds, I got to witness another highly thought-out fête of filmmaking genius and ambitious films for the future. Charting international influence from South Korea to Iran, films documented uncomfortable truths.
