Swedish Film Festival Busan - Busan Cinema Center
Friday, November 7 – Thursday, November 13
One of the must-see cultural events in late autumn, the Swedish Film Festival is ready to welcome audiences in Seoul and Busan with a strengthened 2014 program. For this third edition of the festival, the program selection is particularly focusing on the ‘cinema’ itself in different genres.
From artistic masterpieces to eccentric experiments, Swedish cinema has always played a special role in the history of world cinema. This year, Swedish director Roy Andersson's hilarious and heartbreaking absurdist comedy A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence won the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and further proved the excellence of Swedish cinema.
The Swedish Film Festival, which is being shown in Seoul and Busan, is the ideal opportunity to see the very best selection of the latest trends of this fascinating cinema. Starting from the opening film Nobody Owns Me, this year’s line-up including social drama (Avalon, Behind Blue Skies, Call Girl), biography (The Last Sentence), family adventure (The Ice Dragon), documentary (TPB AFK, Big Boys Gone Bananas!*), sensational short film (Music For One Apartment and Six Drummers) and its feature version (Sound of Noise) are all not to be missed.
Behind the image of a renown welfare country and utopian society, Swedish cinema strives constantly to explore deep inside of people and society. Swedish Film Festival 2014 will be held for one week in each city, from November 5 in Seoul and November 7 in Busan. Some screenings will be followed by special events such as Guest Appearances, including Kjell-Åke Andersson, the director of the opening film Nobody Owns Me. All screenings are free to the public.
