CCC Auteurs Watchlist : Roy ANDERSSON

Unique Swedish filmmaker, Roy ANDERSSON, is 78 this year and made his last (according to him) film in 2019 : About Endlessness. A 2020 documentary, Being a Human Person (directed by Fred Scott) follows its making of, where the auteur struggles with alcoholism. Andersson only made 6 feature films within 50 years, and many TV commercials (compiled in this 34min long YouTube video). Let's hope there will be a 7th Roy Andersson film and many more.
