FACE2FACE
Stockholm International Film Festival presents an opportunity to have in-depth discussions with directors and actors. During our Face2Face events, the audience is given the opportunity to interact with visiting actors, directors and our special guests. In 2021 our Face2Face events will both be digital, and live on stage.
RED CARPET
Our biggest films gets the Red Carpet-treatment. We roll out the red carpet and drinks and snacks are served in the lobby before the screening. Directors and actors are often invited to the screenings and take part in a Face2Face-conversation after the film.
All our Red Carpet-screenings are open to the public.
BE IN TIME FOR THE SCREENING
Remember to arrive on time as you will not be allowed access your seat once the screening has started. Red Carpet events begin 30 minutes before the screening.
SCHOOL CINEMA
Stockholm International Film Festival collaborates with School Cinema (Skolbio) in order to spread the culture of film and cinema to younger generations. School Cinema is especially dedicated to students and kids from the City of Stockholm.
Stockholm International Film Festival provides students, from the age of 15, the opportunity to see new films from all around the world for only 30 SEK per film.
