The activists want to draw attention to the ongoing genocide that Israel is committing against Palestinians and highlight how Sweden is directly complicit in what is happening, through the state's business with the Israeli weapon company Elbit Systems.

Elbit Systems is Israel's largest weapon company, which supplies the Israeli military with 85 percent of their drones and weapons "tested in combat," which means that these are used to violently oppress Palestinians.

In recent years, Sweden has made large purchases of Israeli weapons. In 2020, the Swedish Armed Forces purchased military radio systems from Elbit, and in 2022, Elbit's combat control system was purchased for the Swedish Navy. In October last year, in the midst of the ongoing genocide, Sweden signed a 10-year contract with Elbit worth 1.7 billion SEK.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and the Moderate party have the ultimate responsibility to follow the resolution that emphasizes that all states have a legal obligation to act to prevent Israel’s ongoing genocide. Neither the Moderate party nor Ulf Kristersson have done this, which makes the government directly complicit in the genocide.

The public service broadcasters SVT and SR have clearly failed in their reporting on Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians. One example is SVT’s reporting that the review board found to be biased when it “omitted historical information about, among other things, Israeli occupation and settler policy, which resulted in the historical account being one-sided.”

However, this is not an isolated example, but has been consistent with SVT and SR's reporting, where information from Israeli authorities and the military has been left unchallenged and without critical scrutiny, while voices from Palestine have largely been completely absent.

Neither SVT nor SR have lived up to the demand for impartiality, but have clearly and distinctly taken a position in favor for Israel. They have also categorically omitted reports on the powerful and enduring resistance that people in Sweden and globally have shown. This makes SVT and SR complicit and accomplices in Israel's ongoing genocide of Palestinians.

The activists demand:

• that Sweden follows the decision of the International Court of Justice in The Hague that all states have an international legal obligation to act to prevent genocide. This is according to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide from 1948.

• that public service companies begin reporting on Israel's genocide of Palestinians as a genocide and not a "war between Israel and Hamas".

• that Elbit Systems' agreement with the Swedish Armed Forces is terminated and that the arms company is closed down in Sweden.

Statement by FICIMAD (Festival Internacional de Cine Independiente de Madrid):
The ghost of freedom haunts the monotonous and tedious routine of Evgeniya Glazunova playing a model housewife in a clean, tidy and immaculate kitchen worthy of IKEA magazines. Laia Ricart and Leo Palmestål direct a groundbreaking immersive experience, a brilliant example of maximalist minimalism that fuses the viewer with its protagonist so deeply that it transcends simple observation. We slowly digest the distress signals, the signs of falling into a downward spiral and the evidence of inner putrefaction of an automated,
mechanized and robotized life. The atrocious domestic loneliness and the alienated existential conscience will boil in a dreamlike, dancing and frenetic emotional catharsis in which Evgeniya Glazunova will tear down her mannequin appearance in a surprising and unexpected way. An avant-garde film, with elegant subtextual feminism, brave, risky and necessary.

The film encourages and gives suggestions for ways to respond to gender-and hetero-fascists and their constant repetition of for example, are you a guy or girl?
A movie for all of us who are faced with sexism, trans / homophobia and guitar guys on everyday occasions and at parties.
