ABOUT THE FILM PROGRAMME
A selection of Carl Johan De Geer's short films will be looped during the opening evening, for example autobiographical "Mormor, Hitler och jag" (17 min) and "Jag minns Lena Svedberg" (6 min), a portrait of an artist friend who took her life and a support for documentary photography. Film language: Swedish.

ABOUT THE GUEST DJ
DJ this Art Friday is Faux Rabbit, who will present an audio-visual set with a swirling mix of indie, alternative, neo-psychedelic, dream pop, post-punk and garage. Accompanied by a collage-like video projection of old movie clips.

Bildmuseet is open all day, but the Friday evening activities start at 17:00. The restaurant offers a light menu if you want to have a snack. The Art Friday will be open until 21:00, and then it is just a short walk to Umeå's nightlife if you want to continue the evening.
