The 2022 Carlsberg Scandinavian Film Festival, now in its eighth year, showcases the best contemporary cinema from these countries, selected from international film festivals and markets such as Göteborg, Cannes and Berlin.
Geographically, Scandinavia refers to the Northern European sub-region of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, but nearly a decade ago at the Cannes Film Festival the idea was born to incorporate more countries from the Nordic region into a festival for the Australian audience to experience.
Taking the lead from Scandinavian Films, the umbrella organisation representing all five Nordic Film Institutes, we felt this was a perfect way to present a curated selection from the region. This year’s lineup includes exciting new releases and classic titles, including sweeping epics, historical dramas, charming comedies and a focus on food, plus much more.
We hope you enjoy the 2022 edition and feel a sense of hygge as the winter months are upon us.
