Silent Lips (Trailer 1)

October 15, 2015

During the summer of 2015 I shot my first “real” movie in Sweden and Macedonia for Trapart Film. The post-production is now being finished and the film will be released early in 2016. For me, this has been an amazing adventure, fully endorsed by the film gods. I will write more about this process when the film is ready to be catapulted out there. But for now, loving thanks to Linn Sparrenborg, Andrew M McKenzie, Robin Hayes, Vera & Stojan Nikolich, Thomas Gjutarenäfve, Fredrik Åkerberg, Tea Shaldeva, Jane Altiparmakov, Robert Bolin, Agnieszka Lewalski, Johan Hamrin, Katarzyna Jaskiewicz, Linnea Ericsson, Rickard Gramfors, Roy Sutherwood and Jakob Abrahamsson who helped this dark dream materialise in very satisfying ways! Enjoy the trailer! Silent Lips (Trailer 1) from Carl Abrahamsson on Vimeo.

Once the toothpaste is out of the tube

October 14, 2015

A new film in the series An Art Apart was just finished: Once the toothpaste is out of the tube. It’s an in-depth peek into the life and mind of brilliant American photographer Charles Gatewood. The film was shot in the summer of 2014 in San Francisco with the help of eminent Swedish artist Åsa Ersmark, and I’m very happy with how it turned out. This year has been such a Film-Gods-blessed year and it just keeps getting better! If you’d like to show this film, just get in touch via the contact page on this site. Thank you. American photographer Charles Gatewood started out in the 1960s as a young man with dreams of showing the world the radical cultural developments that were going on in his country.

As the decades passed, Gatewood drifted more and more into a personal expression of sexual subcultures, both in America and abroad. His powerful photos of pioneers within the...

Burning in a revitalized Black Flame

October 11, 2015

I was recently interviewed by Raul Antony for The Black Flame, the online magazine of the Church of Satan. Ever since its print demise, I’ve missed that magazine so it’s great to see it resurface online. And I’m very happy about the interview too. The original can be found HERE, complete with photos and all. Read it here, read it there, read it anywhere, but make sure to drop by the COS site from time to time, as it’s always filled with interesting material to ponder. Many thanks to Raul for the interview! Infernal Reasonances – A discussion with writer, musician, filmmaker, and misanthropologist Magister Carl Abrahamsson. by Reverend Raul Antony It was 1998, in an underground—literally, it was in the basement of an apartment building—NYC book and magazine shop called See Hear where my interest in both Satanism and Abrahamsson’s work emerged. As a voracious reader of the occult and counter-culture, I devoured everything the shop had to offer and...
