FORTES is leaving the building...

... and you will from now on meet me on www.feliciafortes.com. Finally I have a site for both blog and portfolio. So this is my farewell post to Hours with Fortes.

Close to nature

There's an expression: "Med naturen inpå knuten" (kind of "With nature just around the corner"). It's often used when selling estates in the fancy suburbs. I grew up in the ugly suburb, Bergsjön. The only good thing there was nature. Without nature it would've been a place suitable for a post apocalypse movie set.

My loverboy

So, I made a picture of my dear husband, Dragan. Lovely!

Traces of a Diary: Marco Martins och André Príncipe

So, now I've hosted the first Q&A at this years Goteborg International Film Festival. I met Marco Martins and André Príncipe, the directors behind Traces of a Diary, a documentary about japanese photographers working in the tradition of photobooks like Nobuyoshi Araki, Hiromix and Yoshiyuki Kohei. It was a great start of the working days at the festival with these two really nice and intelligent people charing their thaughts and experiences.
