Ruben Östlund wants to make choosing films more humane

Ruben Östlund and Felix Herngren want to use a new site to give people looking for a film or TV series to watch at home the opportunity to get tips and advice. It's a very simple idea: when you choose a film, you go through a fellow human being and are not dependent on an algorithm, Östlund tells TT in Cannes.

The idea is that anyone can go to the site Mylist and post lists of films they want to recommend. They could be films that have a special place in a person's heart, or, for example, Oscar winner Sean Baker, who has listed his five picks for the best films about heroin addiction.

Here, people I trust can recommend a film, says Herngren.

After the launch in Cannes, Östlund will be in Amsterdam filming a supplementary scene for "The entertainment system is down." Herngren will finish filming the second season of "Where the Sun Always Shines," which will premiere late this fall.
