## Resource

Swedish filmmaker Ester Bergsmark spent seven years shaping 'A Sweetness from Nowhere', a hybrid film premiering at CPH:DOX that moves between essay, documentary, fiction — and what she sometimes calls a fable. In this episode, Bergsmark talks about the nerve-racking creative process behind the film, which blends abandoned sci-fi footage, disco-like jellyfish and deeply personal reflections on trauma, fear and healing. The conversation explores how different cinematic forms can hold different kinds of truth — and how darkness can transform into connection, beauty and joy. Host: Wendy Mitchell, filmwendy.com Presenting partner: Nordisk Film & TV Fond, https://nordiskfilmogtvfond.com/ Audio producer: Karoline Balstrøm Logo designed by: Tine Seerup Music artist: Bail Bonds Title: Swimming Lessons
