Open Shelf Films on Fridays offers screenings of films that have influenced exhibiting artists. March's films are selected from Anthony Giocolea’s Open Shelf. Simultaneously elegiac and raw, this uneven – but unforgettable – tearjerker tells the story of Ingemar, a 12-year-old working-class Swedish boy sent to live with his childless aunt and uncle in a country village when his mother falls ill.
