Feeling frustrated and stressed out? Brazilians now have a place to vent their anger and fury in the newly opened “Rage Room.”Inside a warehouse on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, people are able to swing giant hammers at old televisions, computers and printers, demolishing the machines, and shattering the glass into tiny pieces.
Forty-two-year-old Vanderlei Rodrigues, who opened the business a month ago in Cidade Tiradentes, said he has received a fair number of customers wanting to vent, especially during the pandemic.
-I think it was the best moment to be able to set this up here in Cidade Tiradentes, related to everything that people are going through, a lot of anxiety, stress.-The “Rage Room” experience costs $4.64.

Wearing protective suits and helmets, participants write issues that bother them on the walls - “ex-girlfriends”, “ex-husbands,” “corruption” and “work.” These words become the targets of their anger.

Alexandre de Carvalho, 40, who works in advertising and drives two hours back and forth to work, said with worries about health due to the pandemic, “it’s great to come here and release some adrenaline and pent-up feelings.”
For Luciana Holanda, 35, who is an unemployed mother of two daughters, she said she prefers to vent her frustration inside the “Rage Room.”
-With all this accumulated stress, being a mother, having children and not being able to work ... it is very good to be able to release some stress and vent.-
-I am not going to vent my frustrations on my daughters or on anyone, so I really prefer to break things, I love it.-

Kim Kardashian West has filed for divorce from Kanye West, a court clerk for Los Angeles Superior Court confirmed to CNN on Friday.

Christy Welder, a representative for Kardashian West, confirmed the divorce filing but said Kardashian West had no additional comment. CNN has reached out to West for comment.
The filing cites irreconcilable differences and Kardashian West seeks joint custody of the couple's four children. It also cites a prenuptial agreement regarding their assets.
The two, who married in a lavish wedding in Italy in 2014, have been living apart for some time.
West has reportedly been living at their home in Wyoming, while Kardashian West has stayed in California with their children.The couple met in the early 2000s, but it would be years before they became romantically involved.
West interviewed his wife for Vogue Arabia and asked her about the first time they met.
-This was before you released your first album and you were known as a music producer. I was really shy. You thought I was (singer) Brandy's assistant, which I wasn't," Kardashian West recalled. "Ever since you said that, it's everywhere ... like 'Kim is Brandy's assistant.' I was her friend and stylist. (laughs). I thought you were attractive, nice, very charming, really funny, powerful -- I was in awe of you, but I was really shy, quiet, and a little nervous, to be honest.-Both had high-profile relationships before they went public with their love in 2012.
West famously proposed to Kardashian by renting out a sports stadium and hiring an orchestra, as her family watched from nearby -- all of which was documented and shared on the family's popular E! reality series "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."The couple have four children together. Daughter North was born in 2013, followed by a son, Saint, in 2015, daughter, Chicago, in 2018, and son, Psalm, in 2019.
The couple supported each other through tough times, including Kardashian West being robbed at gunpoint in Paris in 2016 during a home invasion.
In 2018, West tweeted his admiration for his wife.
-Gratitude and happiness best describe what my wife means to me," he wrote. "I'm deeply grateful and purely happy.-Kardashian West, for her part, has also often spoken out in defense of her husband, who has been open about his struggles with bipolar disorder and stirred controversy with his provocative tweets and political views.Last summer, Kardashian West sought understanding from the public in a social media post.
-I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions- she wrote in a statement shared on social media.
-He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder. Those who are close with Kanye know his heart and understand his words some times do not align with his intentions.-

Most homes are built block by block, or brick by brick. But a demo house in Calverton, New York, was constructed scan by scan - its walls made using a giant three-dimensional printer.&nbsp;The demo house was built by construction firm SQ4D, to show the public and industry what was possible. Now the company is putting one up for sale - a still to-be-built house in the nearby town of Riverhead, which has been listed on property site Zillow at $299,000.
With a detached garage, the house will cover some 1,400 square feet (130 square meters). The footings, foundation and slab, along with the walls, will be entirely made with the 3D printer.
-We instruct the machine to go around and follow your floor plan each pass as we go by. We’re constantly building up- said Kirk Andersen, the director of operations for SQ4D.
Andersen and his colleagues had to design and build their own printer to fulfill their house-sized dream.
-We took the idea of a plastic 3D desktop printer and wanted to make it much larger and spit out concrete- said Andersen.
-We set tracks on each side of the structure where we plan to print. We set up our giant gantry, our large scale printer goes back and forth, extruding these layers one by one, stacking, building all your walls.-

Andersen said the actual printing time for the walls took about 48 hours, part of an overall eight-day process to build the entire home.

That is significantly faster and around 30% cheaper overall than a home built using standard construction methods, he said, where laborers need to tow in and stack blocks manually.
-We show up with a printer. We can replace the labor-intensiveness of those guys and extrude concrete much faster than they can lay the bricks- he said.
Not everyone in the construction industry is thrilled at that prospect, and the process has received mixed feedback, he said, with some skepticism in particular from older tradesmen.
-I think people are just unprepared for how this is going to change construction- said Andersen. -This is the beginning. This is just scratching the surface right here.-

Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are expecting their second child, the couple revealed in a Valentine's Day announcement, the first senior royal due to be born outside Britain in 100 years.

The couple released a black and white image of themselves under a tree, all smiles, with Markle holding her baby bump.
-We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother- the spokesman said, referring to the couple's son. -The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child.-Meghan and Harry, who is Queen Elizabeth II's grandson, quit frontline royal duties in March last year and now live in California.
The baby will be "something of a first" for the immediate royal family because it will have US and British citizenship and is likely to be the first to be born outside of Britain since Prince Philip 100 years ago.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: -Her Majesty, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and the entire family are delighted and wish them well.-The photograph was taken by friend of the couple Misan Harriman. In a tweet addressed to Meghan, she said: -Meg, I was there at your wedding to witness this love story begin, and my friend, I am honoured to capture it grow. Congratulations to The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on this joyous news!-

Royal commentator Victoria Murphy told AFP that the baby's dual nationality would be "something of a first" for a senior royal, although the new arrival is not destined to become a member of the inner circle given the parents' controversial decision to step back from frontline duties. 

-I think this royal baby might not see some of his or her royal relatives for several months- she added. 
Robert Jobson, the royal editor at London's Evening Standard, said he hoped the pregnancy would allow Meghan and Harry to "build bridges" after "a lot of negativity". 
Their departure last year -- dubbed "Megxit" by the British press -- was a far cry from 2018, when they married in a fairytale wedding at Windsor Castle watched around the world.
They left amid acrimony and a reported rift with Harry's brother Prince William, who is second in line to the throne.
Since leaving, they have launched several legal cases against news outlets alleging invasion of privacy -- including one that ended on Thursday with a victory against Associated Newspapers in the UK.
Pressure from tabloids has dogged Harry throughout his life, and he blames them for the death of his mother Princess Diana.
Despite the strained relationship, the tabloid press mostly welcomed the news on Monday with the Daily Mail carrying the headline "MEGnificent" and The Sun celebrating "Sussexes' Valentine's Day joy" on its front page.
But the Daily Star splashed "Publicity-shy woman tells 7.67bn people: 'I'm pregnant'" on its cover, taking aim at the couple's demands for privacy despite launching a range of commercial ventures.

Last year the pair launched a wide-ranging non-profit organisation, Archewell, after giving up their "Sussex Royal" brand as part of the terms of their departure from frontline monarchy duties.

They have started other creative ventures, including signing a deal with Spotify to produce podcasts that tell "uplifting and entertaining stories".
The couple also signed a multi-year contract, reportedly worth tens of millions of dollars, with streaming giant Netflix to produce "impactful" films and series.
As well complaining about invasion of her privacy, Markle, a former television actress, has also described past trolling of her as "almost unsurvivable".

Remains of an ancient monument in west Wales indicate stones that stood at the site may have been dismantled and used to build the Neolithic standing circle Stonehenge, a new study suggested Friday.

Researchers believe some stones used at Stonehenge, near Salisbury in southwest England, were used in an earlier monument 175 miles (280 kilometres) away in southwest Wales.
The team behind the discovery from University College London (UCL) said there were key elements linking Stonehenge, built in 3000 BC, with the earlier stone circle named Waun Mawn.
They suggest bluestones -- distinct blue and grey stones that originated in Wales -- may have been moved by the ancient builders of Stonehenge as their society migrated. 
The findings, due to be published in the journal Antiquity, would explain why the monoliths were moved so far when most similar standing circles from the time were built close to their quarries.
Waun Mawn is one of the oldest stone circles in Britain and the country's third largest. 
Its surrounding region was an important and densely settled area until 3000 BC when activity seems to have abruptly ended.
-It's as if they just vanished. Maybe most of the people migrated, taking their stones -- their ancestral identities -- with them- archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson, from UCL, said.
With an estimated 80 bluestones erected on Salisbury Plain, it is likely that Waun Mawn, in the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire, was not the only monument recycled at Stonehenge, he added.
-Maybe there are more in Preseli waiting to be found. Who knows? Someone will be lucky enough to find them- he said.
Scientific dating of charcoal and sediment from the holes where stones stood at the Welsh site, reveal it was erected roughly 400 years before Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
There are also indications the builders of Stonehenge copied the monument in Wales. 
Waun Mawn has a diameter of 360 feet (110 metres) -- the same as the ditch that encloses Stonehenge -- and both are aligned on the midsummer solstice sunrise.

Europe's oldest person, French nun Sister Andre, turns 117 on Thursday after surviving Covid-19 last month and living through two world wars, with a special birthday feast including her favourite dessert -- baked Alaska.

Born Lucile Randon on February 11, 1904, Sister Andre said she didn't realise she had caught the coronavirus, which infected 81 residents of her retirement home in the southeast city of Toulon, killing 10 of them.
-I'm told that I got it- the nun told AFP on Wednesday at the home, where she sat basking in the winter sun, her eyes closed and hands clasped in prayer. 
-I was very tired, it's true, but I didn't realise it- she added in a steady, strong voice that belies her years.
But David Tavella, spokesman for the Sainte Catherine Laboure nursing home, said she had "experienced a triple confinement: in her wheelchair, in her room and without a visit".
"So her birthday, it reinvigorates us," he added, following the deadly outbreak.
Sister Andre, who has been inundated with calls from reporters around the world, said she was not planning to do anything special for her 117th birthday.
But the home has other ideas, with a celebration to include a video call with her family. 
The facility, home to a dozen nuns, plans a special mass, and the chef is preparing a birthday feast with foie gras, capon fillet with porcini mushrooms and Sister Andre's favourite dessert: baked Alaska.

She says her favourite food is lobster and she enjoys "a small glass of wine every day".

Born in the southern town of Ales in a Protestant family, she grew up as the only girl among three brothers.
One of her fondest memories was the return of two of her brothers at the end of World War I. 
-It was rare, in families, there were usually two dead rather than two alive. They both came back- she told AFP last year, on her 116th birthday.
As a young woman she worked as a governess to children of wealthy families in Paris, a job she said "suited me very well."
She converted to Catholicism and was baptised at the age of 26. Driven by a desire to "go further", she joined the Daughters of Charity order of nuns at the relatively late age of 41.
Sister Andre was then assigned to a hospital in Vichy, where she worked for 31 years and then spent 30 years in a retirement home in the French Alps before moving to Toulon.
Nineteen French presidents have occupied the Elysee presidential palace since Sister Andre was born.
She is the second-oldest living person in the world, according to the Gerontology Research Group, after Japanese woman Kane Tanaka, who is 118.

With over 350,000 followers on his luxury yacht-focused Instagram account, Denis Suka is already something of an influential figure in the yachting world.
But after posting about incredible vessels for nearly three years, the man behind the @theyachtmogul account is turning his hand to yacht design.
The social media influencer has teamed up with Bhushan Powar Design Studio to devise a superyacht concept named after his hugely popular account.
Measuring 295 feet, the Mogul project features a 26-foot infinity pool, as well as an owner's suite with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering panoramic views, a private hot tub and direct access to a touch-and-go helipad station.
-A lot of yachts aren't very beautiful- he tells CNN Travel. -I thought, if I can bring something nice, maybe someone will want to build it. My goal was to come up with something different.--There are thousands of yachts in the industry. If we make something the same as the others, it's not going to make any difference.-

Since creating the Instagram page in 2018, Suka has devoted much of his time to studying yachts and says he's developed a good understanding of what makes designs stand out, along with what's currently missing from the market.
He decided to make the owner's quarters the main focus while conceptualizing Mogul after noticing that this aspect was often neglected in similar vessels.
-In other yachts, you don't even know where the owner's room is- Suka explains.
-But in Mogul, the owner can sail the boat and look out at a 180-degree view. I can imagine waking up with that view.-Mogul also has a large swim platform, a beach lounge, two tender garages on either side with room for plenty of water toys.
After proposing his idea to the design studio last year, Suka spent six to seven months working on the project, and is thrilled with the result.
-I put so much work into it- Suka admits. -Especially because it was my name [Mogul].-He says he's received a lot of positive feedback from potential buyers since revealing the Mogul concept, which has an estimated price of between $180 and 200 million, and has been in discussions with other designers and naval engineers about moving to the next stage.

If the Mogul concept was to be picked up, Suka believes it would take at least three years to build.
Demand for superyachts has been rising for many years -- the global fleet increased from 3,906 crafts in 2009 to 5,646 in 2019, according to the Superyacht Group.
While sales dipped slightly in 2020 due to the pandemic, superyacht market intelligence source BOAT Pro indicated that a total of 341 were sold by the end of the year.
But the more superyachts that emerge onto the scene, the harder it is to truly stand out, and designers are being pushed to come up with vessels that are both eye-catching and innovative.
Mogul is one of several exciting new superyacht concepts that could be hitting the waters in the coming years.
Slovenian design company VOM Creations recently shared adventurous new explorer concept Mr. Hunt, named after Tom Cruise's character in the "Mission Impossible," while Lazzarini Design Studio launched the Prodigium project, a vessel shaped like a shark, back in November.

Suka, who moved to Monaco in 2018, says he's noticed a shift towards more cutting edge, inventive designs and the boundaries will be pushed further and further as time goes on.
-I'm sure we won't see these types of designs [such as Mogul] in a few years- he says.
-In the future, buyers will be even younger and they'll want more futuristic designs. We'll see designs that are more like spaceships.-While Suka hopes the Mogul project will come to fruition soon, he's currently developing a new design for an explorer concept, as well as working as a yacht broker.
-I will keep bringing projects until one of them is built- he adds.
But despite his numerous assignments, Suka remains dedicated to his Instagram account, pointing out that all of the opportunities he's garnered in the yachting world have come as a result of the page.
-No matter how high I go, Instagram is my priority- he says. -That's where I started, and where I am now is because of the account. Everyone knows me as 'the yacht mogul.-

"Everything went smoothly" -- a 67-year-old man awaiting trial for the robbery of reality star Kim Kardashian in Paris four years ago has come clean in a new book, laying out the life history that led to his involvement in the heist.

Yunice Abbas, who calls himself a "part-time crook," was one of 12 people arrested for nabbing a small fortune in jewels after surprising Kardashian in the luxury residence she rented to attend Fashion Week.
As his book's title makes clear -- "I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian" -- Abbas has no plans to contest the charges at a trial prosecutors are hoping will begin this year.
It was the biggest robbery of an individual in France in two decades, with the thieves making off with a combined haul worth about nine million euros ($10.8 million).
Most of the pieces were never found: police have recovered only a diamond-encrusted cross that Abbas dropped while leaving the scene by bike.
-The jurors will have to decide, and in theory they'll do it based only on what's presented to them in court, but 50 stories have already been told about all this -- I wanted to tell my truth, the one I've lived- Abbas told AFP.
He was one of five men aged 60 to 72 -- dubbed the "Grandpa robbers" in the press -- who entered Kardashian's apartment at around 2:30 am on the night of October 3, 2016.
The star later told police the men, at least one of whom was wearing a jacket with police insignia, tied her up with plastic cables and adhesive tape, and placed her in the bathtub.

-It went fast, maybe five, six, seven minutes, from entry to exit, because everything went smoothly. Nobody interfered, the victim handed over the jewels without resistance- Abbas said.

But as he entered the street alone -- he says he was last to leave -- he found himself face to face with a police patrol.
-I was shutting the door and they looked at me, so I gave a little sign, like a salute.--They were just on one of their rounds, but obviously I was nervous. I looked calm, or at least I tried to, and it worked.-Abbas said that almost immediately he had regrets, and he was one of 12 suspects arrested three months later.
He had spent his life in and out of jail -- 21 years in total -- but had been "clean" for nine years before being offered the Kardashian heist "at a time when I needed the money," he said.
After 22 months behind bars, a judge released him on health grounds, and Abbas now hopes a jury will be lenient after he underwent heart surgery.
-My fear is returning to prison, my health is no longer good," he said. "If you have an attack, you might have to wait hours before they can do anything, with catastrophic results.-

A roller coaster now under development in the Middle East is set to smash existing records for speed, height and track length.
Called "Falcon's Flight," the ride will be the main attraction of Six Flags Qiddiya, due to open in Saudi Arabia outside of capital Riyadh in 2023.
According to a press release issued by the Qiddiya Investment Company, which has partnered with US-headquartered Six Flags to build the park, the coaster will travel across four kilometers (about 2.5 miles) of track.Riders will experience the thrill of diving over a vertical cliff into a 160-meter-deep valley (525 feet) thanks to the use of magnetic motor acceleration (LSM technology), and "achieve unprecedented speeds of 250-plus km/h" -- about 155 miles per hour.
-The Falcon's Flight will also be the world's tallest free-standing coaster structure, featuring a parabolic airtime hill allowing a weightlessness airtime experience- says the release.
It will take up to 20 passengers on a three-minute long ride that and offers panoramic views of Six Flags Qiddiya. If the video rendering produced by Qiddiya is an accurate depiction of what guests will experience, this one's only for true thrill seekers.As for the park, Six Flags Qiddiya will feature 28 rides and attractions across six themed lands: The City of Thrills; Discovery Springs; Steam Town; Twilight Gardens; Valley of Fortune; and Grand Exposition.
Appropriately, the Falcon's Flight will be part of the City of Thrills, along with Sirocco Tower, which will be the world's tallest drop-tower ride.
Construction on the park, located about 40 minutes from Riyadh, kicked off in 2018.

The Falcon's Flight is being designed by Intamin. Headquartered in Liechtenstein, it's been creating theme park attractions for over 50 years and is behind many of the world's most famous rides. That includes the current holder of the world's fastest roller coaster title -- the Formula Rossa, at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. It travels at speeds of up to 240 kilometers (149 miles) per hour.
The current world's tallest coaster made of steel -- yet another Intamin project -- can be found in New Jersey. Kingda Ka, at Six Flags Great Adventure, stands 139 meters (456 feet).
And finally, the longest roller coaster on the planet right now is the Steel Dragon 2000. Developed by D. H. Morgan Manufacturing, it can be found inside Japan's Nagashima Spa Land amusement park in Nagashima, Kuwana.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, it spans 2.48 kilometers (1.54 miles).

Google on Thursday unveiled an upgraded fitness app which uses smartphone camera capabilities to measure respiration and heart rate.

Google Fit already uses smartphone sensors to figure out how far people walk or how many calories they have burned, but new features rolling out to Google Pixel phones will add pulse and breathing to health data crunched by the app.
Sensors and software that make it possible to take stunning photos with smartphones or automatically adapt streaming video to how handsets are held can be used to sense respiration and heartbeat, according to Google health technologies team leader Shwetak Patel.
-We are seeing more and more smart devices that have more and more sensors in them- Patel said, spotlighting the smartphone as the most ubiquitous.
-The same sensors can be used for health and wellness.-A modification coming in the next month to the Fit app tailored for Google-made Pixel smartphones will use camera sensors detect someone's chest moving as they breathe, calculating their respiration rate.
Placing a fingertip on the lens will let Fit use a camera to determine how fast someone's heart is beating based on how skin color changes as blood is pumped, members of the team explained.
Data processing is all done on smartphones, and users will have the option to save results securely in their accounts at Google datacenters.
The Fit app lets users set activity or health goals and weaves in artificial intelligence to coach them about how to achieve objectives.
-If you think about health care, the journey doesn't end at the hospital- Patel said.
-It's really this continuous journey as you are living your daily life, and being able to give you feedback and measure your general wellness is an important thing.-Google plans to soon add the capabilities to versions of Fit for other smartphones powered by Android software, and eventually onto the app for iPhones.
Connected accessories such as activity tracking bracelets or pendents are already used to track lifestyles with health in mind. Apple has made health a selling point for its smart watch, which boasts an array of features including electrocardiograms and measuring blood oxygen levels.
Google did not specify plans for one day making money from the Fit app..

The Montreux Jazz Festival, which was forced to cancel last year's edition due to the pandemic, said Tuesday it was moving towards a hybrid model, including livestreaming concerts.

Organisers said they had reached a deal with Qello Concerts by Stingray for livestreaming, allowing live events and digital projects to be combined.
-Streaming is a crucial medium for securing the continued success of the festival: if people can’t come to the Festival, we will bring it to them- said Nicolas Bonard, head of Montreux Media Ventures.
They are also creating a new brand, MJF Spotlight, dedicated to promoting emerging talent through digital content.
Taking place in the idyllic Swiss town of Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva, the summer event has over the past half century become a magnet for big names and rising stars. 
The jazz label has been retained despite an expanding repertoire over the years, bringing in the likes of Nina Simone, Johnny Cash, Deep Purple, Prince and Nick Cave.
The festival had already in 2019 begun moving towards more of a hybrid model with increased focus on digital content.
But that strategy was accelerated significantly by the Covid crisis, which forced the first cancellation in the festival's history.
Lionel Richie, Brittany Howard, Lenny Kravitz and Black Pumas were among the artists who had been booked for last year.
However the festival "continued to keep its lights on", organisers said, pointing to several initiatives including the free online publication of 50 legendary concerts. 
The programme for this year's festival, expected to take place July 2-17, will be published in coming weeks.

A front-line Swedish nurse is getting some Covid downtime with a week of private screenings of the Gothenburg film festival, in a former lighthouse off the country's west coast.
More than 12,000 candidates from 45 countries applied to watch the festival's films in almost near isolation on an island 400 kilometres (250 miles) from Stockholm.
The prize is a week viewing as many of the festival's 70 premieres as they like in a hotel in the former Pater Noster Lighthouse. But they will be in isolation and will have no access to their own computer or laptop.
The bright-red lighthouse, built on a tiny island off Sweden's west coast in 1868, is surrounded by a scattering of squat, red buildings originally built to house the lighthouse keeper's family. It can only be reached by boat or helicopter, depending on the weather.
After a series of interviews and tests, festival organisers chose emergency nurse and film buff Lisa Enroth for the prize, in keeping with the 2021 festival's theme, Social Distances.
Before boarding a small speedboat out to the island on the clear, chill winter's morning, Enroth said she had applied not only out of her love for the cinema, but also to seek respite from her hectic work as an emergency nurse during the pandemic. 
-It has been hectic, so it's a nice opportunity just to be able to land and to reflect over the year- she said.&nbsp;

<h2>Months working amid Covid crisis</h2>

Sweden, which has taken a light-touch approach to the pandemic compared to its neighbours, has been facing a stronger than expected second wave of the virus. So far, more than 11,500 people have died from Covid-19 across the country.
Enroth works in the emergency ward of a hospital in Skovde in central Sweden. Since the start of the pandemic, her hospital's work caring for virus patients on top of their regular workload has been intense.
-We had a lot of Covid cases during this year and every patient that has been admitted to the hospital has been passing through the emergency ward- she told journalists.
The organisers said they were surprised by the numbers of applicants for the prize but were confident they had chosen the right candidate -- not only for her love of cinema. 
-She has also dedicated this past year in the frontline against the Covid-19 pandemic- the festival's creative director Jonas Holmberg said to AFP. 
-That's also one of the reasons we chose her-.&nbsp;

Boarding the boat dressed in a thick survival suit, Enroth sped over the calm, icy waters, jumping off in the island's tiny harbour and disappearing into her lodgings.
A screen has been set up in the lantern room at the top of the windswept island's lighthouse, offering a 360-degree view of the sea and coastline around.
Another wide screen has been set up in one of the island's buildings.
Enroth will also have a tablet and headphones if she wants to watch films elsewhere on the island, which measures just 250 metres by 150 metres.
With only one other person staying permanently on the island -- a safety precaution -- Enroth's only contact with the outside world will be through her video diary about the films she has viewed.
The festival's films will be shown online and two venues in Gothenburg itself will allow screenings for just one person at a time.
Holmberg, the festival's creative director, said he hoped events like these would maintain interest in the industry at a time when many screens are closed because of pandemic restrictions.
-We are longing so much to come back to the cinemas and in the meantime we have to be creative and do the things that we can to create discussion- he told journalists.

Cristiano Ronaldo broke coronavirus travel restrictions with a trip to a mountain resort, according to media reports Thursday.
Juventus striker Ronaldo allegedly travelled to Courmayeur, 150 kilometres north-west of the Serie A club's Turin headquarters, for his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez' birthday.
When contacted by AFP, Juve declined to comment.
Rodriguez, who turned 27 on Wednesday, apparently posted a video of the couple on a snowmobile on Instagram.
She later removed it, but it was picked up by several Italian news sites.
The Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper said Ronaldo and Rodriguez spent Tuesday night in a hotel and took a ride in the snow the next morning, before returning to Turin.
Under current Italian coronavirus rules, the couple should not have left the town of Turin. They each risk a fine of 400 euros ($485).
The 35-year-old footballer has been embroiled in coronavirus-related controversy before.
He was criticised in October for travelling to Portugal while Juventus were in isolation after two virus cases. 
Ronaldo then tested positive himself, and returned to Italy to spend a couple of weeks in isolation at home. 
At the time, Italian Sports Minister Vincenzo Spadafora accused the star of "violating" coronavirus restrictions.

Organizers of the Cannes film festival announced Wednesday new dates for the event that will now be held in July.
After the global lockdown brought on by the coronavirus pandemic forced organizers to cancel last year’s event, they said the festival will keep its rendezvous this year.
The 74th edition will take place from July 6-17, instead May 11-22, when it was originally scheduled.
The world’s biggest film festival is a prestigious event for filmmakers and actors to showcase their work in the competition section, as well as for producers, distributors, buyers, and programmers looking at the business side in the market section, called Marche du Film.
The red carpet, set against the backdrop of the stunning French Riviera, walked by A-list actors and models infusing high glitz and glamor, makes it one of the highly awaited events.
The annual festival is attended by more than 45,000 people including journalists and film professionals.

Wikipedia celebrates its 20th anniversary on Friday and the collaborative, volunteer-produced internet encyclopedia aims to spend the next 20 years further expanding free access to information.
Founded on January 15, 2001 by the American-British entrepreneur Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia is now the seventh-most popular website in the world, with its more than 55 million articles being consulted 15 billion times every month.
The website started in English but within two months had already launched in German and Swedish. It is now available in 309 languages.
But Wales doesn't intend to stop there, with the languages of the developing world in the website's sights.
"That's really important that the next billion people, two billion people who come online are going to want to participate in Wikipedia, to grow their own storehouse of knowledge, and they're going to rely on us to support that work, and that's a big part of how I think about the future," Wales told AFP in an interview.
In 2006, Wales set the goal of having 100,000 entries in Wikipedia for every language with more than one million speakers, but he recognised that Wikipedia is still at least 20 years from achieving that.
Wikipedia's non-profit status nature make it an outlier among today's internet dominated by the likes of Google and Facebook, and hark back to the web's early idealistic days when the open-source movement harnessed the talents of volunteers to offer free access to tools and knowledge.
Wales said he was inspired by such collaborative efforts.
-I'd seen the growth of open-source software, free software, and to me it seemed obvious that you could use the same kind of techniques to build a free encyclopedia, so I was in a real kind of panic because I thought this is such an obvious idea that other people will do it- he said.
-But we actually were probably two years into the project before anybody noticed or cared, so maybe it didn't have to be so urgent.-
Wikipedia continues to be a volunteer-driven effort, with each language site built up independently from original contributions rather than translated articles.
Unlike traditional encyclopedias, contributions by non-experts are welcome, which has driven innumerable debates about content and have led to restrictions on updating certain entries.
The website has also come in for criticism due to the fact that its volunteers are overwhelmingly white males from Western countries, with critics saying it lacks information about women and developing nations.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have quit social media after growing disillusioned by the "hate" they have found on sites like Facebook and Twitter, a UK newspaper reported on Sunday.
The couple were rejecting social media in both a personal and professional capacity as part of their new "progressive role" in the United States, the Sunday Times said.
A source close to the couple told the newspaper they had "no plans" to use social media for their new Archewell Foundation and were "very unlikely" to restart utilising platforms personally.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who moved to California last year after abruptly resigning from British royal duties, have previously had prominent presences online.
They amassed more than 10 million Instagram followers to their Sussex Royal account while they were working royals.
But the couple have also previously complained about their treatment on social media, as well as in the British press.
Meghan described past trolling of her as "almost unsurvivable" while Harry issued an unprecedented statement in 2016 denouncing "the racial undertones of comment pieces" and "the sexism and racism of social media trolls".
Last year they launched a wide-ranging non-profit organisation, Archewell, after giving up their "Sussex Royal" brand as part of the terms of their departure from frontline monarchy duties.
They have started other creative ventures, including signing a deal with Spotify to produce podcasts that tell "uplifting and entertaining stories".
The couple also signed a multi-year contract, reportedly worth tens of millions of dollars, with streaming giant Netflix to produce "impactful" films and series.
Meanwhile Markle, a former television actress, narrated a wildlife documentary on Disney+ in 2020.
