STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Scandinavias biggest film festival is going ahead this year despite the coronavirus pandemic, but will be hosted on an isolated island and admit only one attendee - a healthcare worker, selected from 12,000 applicants.<\/p>\n
Swedish nurse and film fan Lisa Enroth was chosen to be the 2021 Gothenburg Film Festivals castaway who will spend a week on the remote island of Pater Noster watching film after film.<\/p>\n
In healthcare I seem to have spent ages listening, testing and consoling. I feel like Im drained of energy, Enroth said.<\/p>\n
Pater Noster, on the boundary of a dense archipelago offSwedens west coat, is known for its lighthouse.<\/p>\n
The wind, the sea, the possibility of being part of a totally different kind of reality for a week all this is really attractive, said Enroth, who will keep a daily video diary that will appear on the festivals website.<\/p>\n
The festivals CEO Mirja Wester said: It feels particularly right to be able to give this unique experience to one of the many heroes of the healthcare system who are all working so hard against COVID-19.<\/p>\n
