Flimmer is southeast Sweden's biggest
independent film organisation and is based in Norrköping, a former
forerunner of the industrial revolution in Sweden. In a city steeped in
tradition and history, Flimmer has successfully established itself in
two distinct areas.
Norrkoping Filmfestival Flimmer is a
favourite in the cinema-goers' calendar in southeast Sweden. The 12th
annual festival will take place between 1st and 10th of October this
year. Following the huge success of last year's festival, Flimmer will,
this year, offer a multitude of films to please anybody who is
genuinely interested in cinema.
Last year's festival included the swedish premiere of The Wedding
Photographer, The Ape and In the Loop, as well as award winning
documentaries and features from the festival circuit, and face-to-face
interviews with actors, actresses and directors.
This year the attempt is not only to maintain the quality and variety
of last year’s festival but also to make this year even more
memorable.
Open air cinema/utomhusbio is the
biggest open-air cinema event in Sweden. The Flimmer Utomhusbio-tour
visits around 30 places in Sweden between June and September, and is
welcoming 30 000 people to the inflatable giant screen. Utomhusbio in
Norrköping is located in the scenic Färgargården area
by Strömmen (the stream that flows through Norrköping). Last
year we welcomed 12 000 people to our screenings of popular films that
you may have missed at the cinema. Utomhusbio runs between July and
August and this year's programs include Oscar winners and well-known
Swedish titles. The program is available here in June and each
screening is free, although there will be a raffle every evening and
donations are gratefully received.
