Academy Award for “Searching for Sugarman” (sweden)

The Swedish documentary “Searching for Sugarman” won an Oscar today, and I am both grateful and overwhelmed.

I am grateful for the film itself, a simple piece about a one-of-a-kind life-journey. Sugarman” is an unlikely hero who makes a unique personal choice revealing not only his own true nature, but also ours.  The film shines a  light on the unanswered dilemmas we all must face: who are we and what is our purpose in life?

I am overwhelmed with honoring and congratulating Kaj Ivanovic who took the credit as post-production colorist [Chimney Pot post-house, Stockholm] Kaj  helped turn diverse found-footage materials into an academy-award winning aesthetic in support of an unforgettable narrative.

Kaj has been part of the Cinemahead family since 2004. He brought to life the first Karlstad film workshop series (with Daniel Wirtberg, Jonas Bergergård, Sara Broos, Jenny Jansdotter and others).

Congratulations Kaj!
