Debuting in 1963, Gunvor Nelson (b. 1931) has directed a wonderful series of short "personal films". Through her visually distinctive work Nelson studies her life, her dreams, her memories of motherhood and childhood, and the communication gap between generations. The three Avanto screenings are a representative cross-section of avant-garde cinema according to Gunvor Nelson. Her latest film Trace Elements will have its European premiere at Avanto.
