ELECTRIC MALADY official trailer

In cinemas from 3 March 2023 (plus previews). Available at home from 3 April. Artist and filmmaker Marie Lidén invites audiences into the isolated world of William, a young man whos spent a decade reluctantly retreating from modern life. A onetime masters student and aspiring musician, his adverse reaction to the electrical radiation from our interconnected digital age has led him to a remote cabin in the Swedish wilderness where hes cut himself off from most forms of technology. But how do you get off the grid when the grid is now everywhere Hidden in a foilencased bedroom, beneath layers of copperlined fabric, William speaks openly to Lidén about suffering from the condition known as electrosensitivity. Shot partly with a handcranked Bolex camera, what emerges is a lyrical and empathetic portrait of loneliness and isolation and a loving familys efforts to save their sons life.
