[IN ENGLISH BELOW] Henrik Möller är en Malmöbaserad filmskapare och författare som är vansinnigt produktiv. Bland mycket annat har han gett ut de Lovecraftinspirerade bilderböckerna Att bygga en gud (som bygger på en idé av Richard Stanley, 2015) och Vägen till Necronomicon (2017), båda illustrerade av Lars Krantz (se illustrationen ovan). Han har också gjort kortfilmer baserade på böckerna. I likhet med hans långfilm Lokalvårdaren (eller Feed the Light som är den internationella titeln, 2014) har de visats på tidigare upplagor av Stockholms H. P. Lovecraftfestival. Möller har denna gång med sig den tredje och avslutande delen i trilogin av Lovecraftinspirerade historier han gjort med Krantz, Att skapa en myt. Berättelsen och illustrationerna är råa, skabrösa och inget för de kräsmagade. Utöver filmandet ligger Möller också bakom podcasten Udda Ting som kretsar kring sällsamma historier och konst samt kreativa människor. Lyssna här! [ENGLISH] Henrik Möller is an insanely productive artist, filmmaker and writer based in Malmö. Among his varied output we find the Lovecraft inspired books Creation of a God (based on an original idea by Richard Stanley, 2015) and The Road to Necronomicon (2017), both of them illustrated by Lars Krantz (for an example of his work see the portrait of Möller above). Möller has also made short films based on the books. Like his feature Feed the Light (2014) they have been screened at previous editions of The Stockholm H. P. Lovecraft Festival. This time around Möller brings the third and final instalment of his and Krantz’s Lovecraft trilogy, Creation of a Myth. The […]
As part of the countdown to the festival I’ve asked our esteemed guests and contributors three quick questions: 1. What was your first encounter with H.P. Lovecraft? 2. Which one of his stories do you like the best? 3. What will you be doing at SHPLFV? You will probably find a lot of common ground reading their answers in the days to come. Our third contributor to be interviewed is filmmaker Henrik Möller: 1. I first met him in 1991 through the roleplaying game The Call of Cthulhu and that got me interested in his stories. I’ve been obsessed with Lovecraft for many years now and have read several biographies about him. I’m also planning to do a film down the road presenting a fictionalised biography 2. Maybe The Call of Cthulhu. But it’s hard to pick a favourite. I’d need to do a top five at least. 3. I’m really looking forward to meeting all the amazing people who share my interest in Lovecraft. Like Sean Branney and Mohammed Omar for instance.
