Stockholm Film Festival – How it works!
Between 9-20 November 2022, the Stockholm International Film Festival takes over the capital's cinemas and shows 130 films from all over the world. In addition to film screenings, we also arrange seminars, Face2Face conversations with international filmmakers and more. The festival will take place at the cinemas Skandia, Victoria, Sture, Zita, Filmhuset and Klarabiografen. We look forward to welcoming the audience to a vibrant festival with innovative films and exciting guests from all over the world - both established filmmakers and stars of the future!
This year's country in focus is Ukraine, a country that has had great success in film for a number of years. Last year's winner for Best Film at the Stockholm Film Festival was the Ukrainian director Oleg Sentsov with the film ››Rhino‹‹. The festival wants to highlight the uncertain future that the Ukrainian film industry now faces and Ukraine needs all the support we can show and contribute to.
This year we will also offer parts of the festival program via the digital platform Festival on Demand, where you can stream parts of the festival's program online. The films can be seen all over Sweden, which means that we will be the whole of Sweden's film festival in 2022 as well!
To be able to go to the screenings, you start of by purchasing a festival membership and then you can buy tickets for the films you want to see during the festival period. Purchased tickets are saved on your digital membership. If you don't want to become a festival member, you can instead buy a try out ticket, which gives you a temporary membership/ticket to a screening. If you have bought try out tickets, then show your order confirmation directly at the entrance to the cinema.
