Dynamical modes of elastic filaments in a shear flow at Reynolds numbers much smaller than unity will be discussed, based on the multipole expansion of the Stokes equations. The role of buckling under compression of the flow will be outlined. Another mechanism of bending will be also presented. Examples of attracting periodic solutions will be shown.
