Filmmaker Ruben Östlund discussed his upcoming film, "The Entertainment System Is Down," and introduced a new film discovery platform called MyList, which prioritizes human taste over algorithms. The platform has launched in Sweden and aims to connect film professionals and the public.
- Ruben Östlund's new film, "The Entertainment System Is Down," featuring Kirsten Dunst, Daniel Brühl, and Keanu Reeves, is still in post-production with an expected completion by year's end. The film, shot on a single set of a Boeing 747, includes a new scene with Nicholas Braun.
- Östlund co-founded MyList with Felix Herngren and Johan Kindblom. The platform allows individuals to curate personal film recommendation lists, with contributions from well-known figures like Dunst, Brühl, Reeves, Pawel Pawlikowski, and Sean Baker.
- MyList was developed to counter the dominance of algorithmic film recommendations and aggregated ratings, emphasizing personal and meaningful connections to films.
- The platform aims to bridge the gap between industry professionals and the general public, encouraging wider engagement with cinema.
- MyList links recommended films to available streaming options and plans to include theatrical screening information.
- The site is ad-supported, free for users, and currently available in Sweden, with an English-language version and global expansion planned.
