Baltic premiere
Automobilen
For three years, documentary filmmaker Jonathan Lomar has followed one of the world’s oldest skate parks in Falkenberg. With unique archives, “Automobilen” takes a road trip to “Halland’s Las Vegas” in the 70s, a place that was anything but abandoned. A story that is woven around the big question mark: What is actually cultural heritage?
