Filmfest Sundsvall

It’s time for the ninth edition of Filmfest Sundsvall, September 29 – October 4.

For six days, Sundsvall comes alive with films from around the world, meetings between audiences and filmmakers, seminars, concerts, and celebrations. The festival is a place for new stories, unexpected perspectives, and memorable cinematic experiences – whether you are a dedicated cinephile, a curious film lover, or simply looking to discover something new.

This year's spotlight is dedicated to the Alps, featuring films and stories from Alpine countries where breathtaking landscapes meet culture, history, and powerful human experiences. Alongside the spotlight programme, audiences can enjoy a diverse selection of international and Swedish films, exclusive premieres, award-winning documentaries, local short films, classics, and new favourites waiting to be discovered.

For children and young audiences, the Children's Filmfest offers screenings, crafts, live dubbing, and other activities for the whole family. Film professionals and students can take part in an extensive industry programme featuring seminars, masterclasses, work-in-progress presentations, networking events, and conversations with leading industry guests.

Filmfest Sundsvall is more than just film. Throughout the festival week, the city becomes a vibrant meeting place where visitors can enjoy concerts, talks, social events, and unique experiences beyond the cinema screen.

The programme and tickets will be released on September 8, 2026.

Filmfest Sundsvall is organized by Film Västernorrland.
