JUNIOR

The Stockholm Filmfestival Junior started in the year 2000 in order to spread quality film for kids and teens. We organize film-workshops and the short film competition "1 Minute Film" to promote filmmaking at a young age. During the festival week we will show films from around the world in cinemas all around Stockholm for elementary schools, high schools, and anyone 6-19 years old - completely free of charge!

WELCOME TO STOCKHOLMS FILMFESTIVAL JUNIOR 19-24 APRIL 2021!

The festival's goal is to show quality film from around the world, film which rarely reaches the usual cinema-goers, homes, or schools. The film-showtimes vary with filmmaking, discussion, and foundations that can be taken back to the classroom. Additionally, the festival is visited every year by a group of international filmmakers who come to Stockholm to meet audiences and answer questions. Film showtimes are free for all children, teens, and teachers. The programme and tickets are released in March 2021.

The festival takes place on six action packed days in April. The festival begins with the inauguration, and ends with the Prize Ceremony and gala att Skandia Cinema where the winners of our 1 Minute Film competition are announced.

The festival is returning again the 19-24 of April 2021!
