...Lloc and has opened a "new Swedish identity" restaurant, Mathias Dahlgren, in Stockholm's Grand Hotel. Significantly, Nordic chefs are looking not only in their own backyards but also to one another for inspiration and to their governments for support.

Pekka Terava of Helsinki's Olo restaurant points out that while each Nordic country is small, the region has a combined population of almost 25 million people.

I love seeing The Crimson read at breakfast, but I would also love to see lively debate among friends at lunchtime, national publication in hand, over war strategy or immigration policy...
...forget: directors start young," says Noah Cowan, who programmed the series through 1997 and now runs the festival with Piers Handling. "And when you're young you're attracted to the magic of horror and action. So Midnight Madness is an excellent festival recruiting tool not only for young audiences but also for young directors." The section thus makes room for low-budget horror films, extreme action epics, foreign gangster movies - what are known, affectionately or derisively, as genre films...
