New Showbiz Analysis

Room 1112 serves as a meta-cinematic exploration rather than a character-driven narrative. It brings together industry professionals to discuss the transition from celluloid to digital, focusing on philosophical debates rather than demographic diversity. The film’s strength lies in its deconstruction of traditional media formats and its examination of how technological changes affect cinema. However, it lacks specific representation of underrepresented groups and focuses on a localized study of the Swedish film industry.

Official Synopsis

In room 1112 at hotel Riverton during Göteborg's 2011 film festival, director Jonas Selberg Augustsén brings together some of Sweden's most famous film workers and asks a question: "Are the celluloid film about to die, and what do you think it means for the moving image?" The film is inspired by Wim Wender's 1982 documentary, Chambre 666.
