The Story of the Weeping Camel is an enchanting film that follows the adventures of a family of herders in Mongolia's Gobi region who face a crisis when the mother camel unexpectedly rejects her newborn calf after a particularly difficult birth. Uniquely composed of equal parts reality, drama, and magic, this film is a window into a different way of life and the universal terrain of the heart.

“The Swan” (2005) is an intimate miniature of an urban fable that unfurls in front of the artist's window upon the unexpected arrival of a beautiful and stubborn swan in New York's East River. Slowly adjusting to his new industrial habitat, the swan fights off speeding coast guard boats, ducks away on the sight of helicopters, and wonderfully overcomes his loneliness. As in so many of Brudermann works, drama and comedy, real and surreal are inherently interconnected. She conjoins the video projection with two live performances. Dorit Chrysler's Theremin composition adds musical counterpoints, while Brudermann's narration of her swan story (opting for a playful fairy-tale language) toys with the relationship of what we see and hear.' ‘Nin Brudermann. Adventurous Entanglements', Simone Subal, Eikon - Zeitschrift fuer Photographie und Medienkunst, Vienna, Nr. 52, Dec. 2005

The stereotype defines Sweden as a perfect society with a very high quality of life. But is it really a happy country? Is it possible that the most self-sufficient and independent people in the world are unsatisfied? Without the need to ask for help or favours, human contact is reduced to the minimum. There is an increasing number of single mums who have children through artificial insemination. The number of people who die alone is growing year after year. Is it worth assuming isolation and loneliness in order to have a self-sufficient, independent life? Iconoclastic filmmaker Erik Gandini explores the Swedish way of life with a sense of humour, considering how a secure and easy life can turn into an empty and lonely existence.
